Whenever the motor comes back. They got bearings on tuesday. I'm hoping to get it back early this week. Take a few sick days and have it running this coming weekend. All very optimistic though.

Kinda of. I've been waiting so long for the motor I wont get excited till I have it back. And I still need to assemble the whole short/long block.

3k is overkill. I'll probably try and put 500 miles or so of no/low boost driving on it. And then 1k before synthetic. I can do 500 miles in a few days before work just on backroads up here if I have to.

Ya, I rack up a crazy amount of miles whenever I go out on a drive on backroads. I don't feel like I'm driving as much as I am, probably because I'm having fun. Definitely better than highway driving.

Bah. My break-in procedure
1) start engine, check for leaks, drive long enough to get oil warm.
2) Do the "rev it up w/o boost, then coast down in vacuum" thing that FM recommends. Drive 50 miles.
3) Change oil
4) Drive to work once or twice
5) Hit the dyno, make 300+ at the wheels.
6) Take it to Laguna Seca.

Don't you normally use "heavier oil" during break-in/bedding-in?
No way would I be doing 300hp runs with that in the engine.
50 miles doesn't seem enough - I was advised 500-1,000km as being "about right", with the upper range being preferable.
When I had my engine built, I was warned of this, and to ensure that the rev-range was excercised up to 4,000rpm but no more.
