Question New RAM HD Install How long should I break it in for?

Well my stock clutch finally gave out after 88 thousand miles i was actually waiting for it to go out i know I have smoked it alot of times in the street and at the track and i drive the car hard every where else, speacially when a Mustang pulls up next to me at the light. Anyways I just got done installing the RAM HD with a new RAM flywheel, 02 slave cylinder and master. my question is how long or how many miles should I wait until it is broken in if any??? so far we took it out for a drive and i didn't get on it never wh ent above 3 grand i just don't want to F!@# it up. Any help will be greatly appriciated.

i put 20 0r so miles just to make sure everything was ok then i drove it like i stole it. its ceramic on both sides of mine so theres really not too much to wear in. now if its an full face clutch then that would be a different story.

500 to be safe and make Ram happy if you have a problem.....even though it seems like they aren't the most helpful when it comes to warrentys.

The Pedal is harder than before and it also egages as soon as you are letting off the clutch it's a little hard to get use to again but i will manage.
