It's really more heat cycles than miles. You don't want to put a ton of miles on it all at once. I'd say 5 or 6 ~20 mile trips would be fine, while allowing enough time to let the rear end cool off between trips. After you complete the heat cycles, you can drive more aggressive. The 500 mile rule is more for fluid change than break in procedure. Be sure to run conventional gear oil also. I run Castrol 75-90 (or maybe its 80-90) Hypoy-C gear oil.

i know what you mean, even before my truck was tuned for the gears it felt great! but it will be like night & day after the shift points are changed

break-in is truly a pain
