Im still going to take it easy for another 500 . better safe than sorry , I hate laying on the concrete . When I rolled into it I was in 4th so it wasnt much strain on the clutch . I also have a fresh t56 so I want a good 500 city miles stop and go . it took me 2 weeks so far and $60 in 93octane

500 is ideal on the powergrip series. You want to break in most clutches. Otherwise you will glaze the disc and it will hold for crap. I didnt have a break-in on my RAM twin disc. That was one of the few exceptions.

Atleast get a gas tank through it before you try anything... But I would hold out for a few more days of driving. You can seriously torch a clutch in a hurry if you rush the break-in.
