Default Clutch Break in..
Can I get the rules to breaking in a Spec 3 clutch?

I've heard 400 miles of stop and go traffic...

Dont go over 2500 RPM during the 400 mile break in...

drive for 10 miles, let the clutch cool for an hour....

went straight from the install to the track, no problems....

Is their a set standard... or is it all just a bunch of opinions out their how to do it right

A tag came with my Spec 3 that said 400 miles of stop and go driving before aggressive use. No mention of over 2500 rpm, or anyhting else for that matter...
