Remeber that you aluminum flywheel is going to push your revs faster and you should allow for the increased acceleration and decreased mass when braking in your clutch. i.e. you should accelerate slower and drive for the full 500 miles before you actually open it up some...

I also hope that you are not using a stock (or near) clutch with your flywheel because it wont last long...

well, got it in, man is that clutch light, its almost no pedal pressure compared to my other clutch, and the revs climb a lot faster, only 700 miles to break it in left
