if it started up and has good oil pressure, crank it up to get the rings seated, give it a few big revs, if it stays together and has good oil pressure, change the oil again, and go for it i had about 5 miles on mine befor i sprayed it. 1/4 mile at a time. i was using the track as my dyno tho.
I've got like 500 miles on it. Getting it tuned for WOT soon. Just don't know how soon I should start spraying.
I didn't know if there was like a rule of thumb type thing out there for this situation.

I have sprayed motors right after the 10-15 minute break in period. I am sure if was not correct or ideal, but those motors lasted for years afterwards. If something went wrong I had only myself to blame.
If I had to tell someone when they could 1st spray a motor it would be a different answer. I would suggest doing your normal break in and then road test the car for a bit to make sure you had no other issues or noises.
