Converter break in periods vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. I know depending on what series Yank they usually suggest 150-300 miles I think of regular driving. When I was talking to Greg when I got my FTI he said to drive it easy for 15 minutes then check the fluid and then put the hammer down right away lol

Op I have the same converter as you and I was lucky enough to have it semi broken in when I sent it to flt so it can be tested with my new tranny, but Dave at yank told me that this wasn't enough and it still needed to be driven about 100 more miles before I beat on it. So there's no way around how your converter needs to be broken in.
