proper break-in for clutch(jwt)

i just got my jwt clutch and flywheel installed and i would like to know the proper break-in method for a new clutch,i am guessing no slipping and no hammering on the clutch and no 5k launches,but i have never had a lightened flywheel before and all of my previous new clutches were on domestics so i just drove them nice for the first 500 km and that was it.by the way i stalled it 3 times on the way home,it is really different feeling(they said the stock clutch was down to the rivets)but it is actually quieter and revs easier that before.
thanks

300 miles of no full throttle, no over 5k rpm, no dumping clutch...no constant speeds like cruising on the highway for a long time. If you really want to do it right, that's it.

Same as above for mine. I did not exceed 3500 RPM's for the first 3-500 and not exceed 4500 from 500-1000 miles. The down side, is that you drive liek a grandma and it seems everyone wants to play when u are breaking in a new clutch! The upside, I get labout 100 MPG when breaking in clutches! LOL (Yes I am exagerrating to a certain extent). Gas mileage def went way way up though.)

I didn't do much of a break in at all, although I should have. But the clutch works fine anyway...
