On the topic of not going past 3500 rpms, I talked to the mechanic at a dealership, as well as the dealer both cool and didn't B.s. me at all.
Anyways, they said there is no break in period, and from what I've read, there shouldn't be, and any break in period is purely to break you into the car so the car won't break a telephone pole and break someone's bank.
Sadly, the mechanic didn't know whether or not the piston rings where seated out of the factory or not.

I agree that there really is no "break in period" for motors any more. Things are so preceisly designed that any seating anis going to occur within the first three heat cycles of the motor. That is expansion and contraction of the internals are going to be set within that three times up to temp cycle, not driving 500 friggin miles at "below 3,500 RPM". Now a newly FI'ed/ fortified/ built/ stroked motor, oh heck yeah take it easy on that. After all NHRA motors are rebuilt in about 30 minutes and they tend to start them for 5 minutes and then it is show at the line. Factory motors are not as sensitive as they used to be. And besides there is a computer to keep things in check, where I bought mine, I was talking with a ASE Mech and he told me that one of the worst things to do was to let the tranny ALWAYS shift and to run CRUISE CONTROL and if you did that the computer is going to map that, performance will suffer and you will be back here in a month complaining of lack of performance. I took it off the lot in manual mode and drive it the same every day and I let my wife take it out for the "auto shift" mode just to let the computer see something different.
