TH700 break-in procedure

My trans was just rebuilt. It's got Red Eagle clutches and kolene steels. Also a Trans-go kit and a corvette convertor. How long should I wait before I hammer on it?

I say take a nice little road trip something this weekend just to be safe, a few hundred miles of break in cant hurt.

When I got my Pro Built, Dana told me to drive it normal for 10 miles and manually go through the gears too. After that have fun!
