Depends on the clutch. Most clutches require 500 city miles to break in. Some of the pucked race discs only need 200-300 city miles...depends on manufacturer though. I wouldn't push it until 500, especially on slicks. Better safe than sorry.

5oo miles is rule of thumb, however the first time installed a centerforce, my buddy (who knows his shit trust me) was like lets get on it man, come on it will be fine. At this point the clutch had about 100 miles on it, and I said if you **** up my clutch it's your ass. Well nothing happened or went wrong so I don't know...

Yeah, depends on the manufacturer...different disc materials have different break ins.
