I hear that the best break in is running the car like you stole it the first 10 miles of the engine because it heats up the cylinder rings and seals them tightly against the wall. Doing that will give you a better performing engine. Going easy on the car for the first 600 to 1000 miles or so will give you a longer lasting engine but less power.
