Alrighty this is my first brand new engine. What I'm wondering is those of you who have broken in new engines how many miles did you put on it before you got a good tune and started having fun with the car?

The break in procedure that map gave says after 500 miles it should be ready for normal driving. Then it says I can switch to synthetic oil at 1500 miles.

So would I be good to go at 500 miles to get a tune and crank the boost up or should I wait till 1500 when I can switch to synthetic oil? What do you guys do with your engines? Thanks!
