they can break it in on the dyno...and tuned right away..safest way but usualy all u need is to break in the cams 20 mins at 2000rpms with break in oil then change the oil and drive it...

From what ive learned and seen in person if u build something and it starts, let it warm and go out an rip around. Engines are built to perform so if it doesnt right away and breaks or fails it was going to happen anyways!!
