Default New engine: Break-in before dynoing?

How long I should wait for a break-in before I dyno my car? The engine is NEW 382.

Thanks!

Waiting that 500 miles is good advice. Not that I waited any time at all. But it IS good advice.

Remember to change out that assembly lube contaminated oil BEFORE ******* it out.

Good luck.
