City driving is what breaks it in, Hwy does nothing unless stuck in traffic.

exactly... there really isn't much breakin IMO... more of a rain-dance to make sure everything was installed properly.

if the clutch slips at all, back out immediately!!!

I never baby anything after installing... engines, turbos, clutches, etc. a drive around the block to make sure it isn't going to blow up and then have at it!
