Default RAM powergrip HD break in period?

i installed a ram powergrip HD today, and i was looking on the papers for a break in period, and i dont think i saw one. it was too late to call ram to ask, so i figured id ask yall on here. any ideaS? I remember with my spec stage 3 it said 400-500 miles of city like driving. does the RAM require a break in?

Im sure all clutches need to break in a good 300-500 miles on mostly street use.

I've allways wonderd about that as pure race cars would be hard pressed to do that 1/4 mile at a time.

ram claims there is no break in period. i drove mine around about 50 miles (this is from one of their tech guys) made sure I had no issues with slipping in gear etc, checked the system for air, and then hammered on it.

that was about 400 miles ago. clutch was installed with roughly 330 rwhp, did heads/cam now has 443 rwhp no issues (i only put 100 miles on it with the 330 rwhp setup)

Is this the sintered iron disk? If so, I was told by thier tech there's no break in period.
