How to "brake in" a clutch

Hi guys, I just bought a Lightweight Clutch Kit w/ Sachs Motorsports Heavyduty Pressure Plate and GT3 clutchdisk from Kevin, I have 2 questions:
Any special advised on how to "brake in" the clutch and how many miles do i need to drive before going full power.

Thanks

I would've thought Kevin would tell you how to break it in when you bought it. Call him and ask him? I broke mine in this way: Put about 1200-1500 miles on it before you go beating on it. I drove around for about 300-500 miles before I fully boosted it. Then boost it more and more when it starts to feel better. It might be a little grabby and hard to modulate at first, but it will get better.

I did my 300-500 miles in one weekend just back-roading and starting and stopping a lot. Thats goes a long way in bedding in a new clutch. You can boost a little, but I wouldn't do it for extended periods. It took 1500 miles or so before mine felt the best and most consistant.
