Default Clutch and flywheel break-in

I have a 95 ls teg, and how long do you think it would take to break in a exedy organic clutch with an ACT prolite (8.8 lb) flywheel, I've already gone 350 k not taking it over 4,500 rpm and i'm getting really anxious to run it.

500 miles seems to be the consensus. It was recommended to me as well by the retailer.

i have an exedy organic clutch and ACT Streetlite flywheel.

was the flywheel and clutch expensive? and what about the labor. i thought that at 40k i would switch the flywheel into more lightweight one and may be change out the clutch with act one. but i dont think i could do it myself. acura dealer should be able to do it for me rite?

I just got through breaking in an Exedy Organic clutch with ACT Streelite flywheel (12.5 lbs). I would rev it high but just let off of it when I would shift. I couldn't wait 500 miles before I actually gassed it some
I did wait 500 miles before running it to redline and shifting it fast. I now have approx. 800 miles on the clutch and all is well thus far.
