Can I stomp the gas yet? :-)

So I've reached 700 miles, I've done a little bit of stomping but nothing major. In the manual it says 500 miles is the break in period...so can I slam the gas now? I'm not saying I'm going to do it ALL the time...just when I want to have fun, or when I need to fly past a slow car :-D
So can I? I know from that bat you can floor it, but you have to limit yourself, by that I mean you can't 30% of the time, just do it every so often, but do I have to worry about something bad happening if I do it now?

Re: Can I stomp the gas yet? :-)

So, I am safely past the break-in point and all the cylinders and bla bla should be okay by now? I'm installing that CAI right on Thursday (Assuming it arrives then) so yeah, what exactly does this sucker sound like? Everybody is raving about it...

Re: Can I stomp the gas yet? :-)

Lol, OK, but my main question is, is it for sure safe even though I'm only at 700 miles?
