How does a guy go about properly breaking in a Con FE clutch before really putting down the pedal???

Lots of stop and go traffic helps.. I found a street in our town with all stop signs and just went up and down the strip. It was a little squishy for the first half hour, then one time it just hooked and I stalled the truck...LOL.. After that I kept out of the hard pulls for about 500 miles and haven't looked back. Its surprises me now how hard it hooks up even on some speedy shifts.

i would say with the power your sig shows to put at least 200 miles on it of some good stop and go driving, mixed with some highway. you will start to fell the difference in the engagement of the cluch. then let her have it. lut is all know what you think.
