I have replaced mine a few times, and I was always told to be easy on it for about 500 miles to avoid hotspots on the flywheel, which will result in chatter.

well i put my ls7 clutch in the day before a track day. Drove 100 miles city driving and then went to the track. No problems at all but it has tobe city on the e-way you don't clutch as much. i'am not saying not to do the 500 miles probably a good idea! just saying mine is fine after 100 mile break in
