Default LS7 Clutch Break-in Period?

What does GM specify for a break-in period on a new LS7 Clutch and Flywheel?

Probably 500 miles. How do you like it thus far?

I picked up the car today. The clutch feels stock and is very smooth. I hated the chatter I had on my clutch that failed. The only problem is that it engages very close to the floor, but I've read where the self-adjusters will compensate for this and it will move up.

Low engagement seems to be the way it is. Mine moved up for about the first 200 miles but not enough for me. I'm adding the Cartek adjustable master now.

Should be the perfect clutch for me after that.
