Default Clutch break in procedure

so im getting my car back fairly soon and im getting the ecs tuning stage 3 clutch + lw flywheel. Since its kevlar lined in know i have to go through a break in procedure of regular stop and go driving (highway doesnt help) for about 500 miles. My question is, how much gas can i give it and still run the clutch safetly? i figure 5 psi max what do you guys think?

I think you should give me your car for a few days. I'll make sure the clutch is broken in REAL good when you get it back...

Nah just drive it regular.... nothing special just dont beat on it "yet"...... like after you **** and get into gear and all set then you can get on it a little.... you just wanna stay away from things like , dropping clutch, power shifting, punching the gas hard through gears. but just normal driving aorund town, passing cars and stuff it will be fineee

ok started driving it around today, seems fine except for the fact that it is a BITCH to get into reverse.. is this common until its fully broken in?
