New clutch!! Break-in time???

Ok,

Just got the car back from the indie. Got a new oil seperator, rms, ims, some hoses, some oil, and a new clutch. Grand total $1700...i think the price was ok, but nothing special.

Anyway, how long do i need to drive this car like an 87 year old woman before my clutch and flywheel are "locked, cocked, and ready to rock"? I've heard 300 miles and i've heard 500 miles. When i first got the car back there was quite a bit of flywheel noise, but that has since subsided now that im up to about 120 miles on the new clutch. This wait is driving me insane though!

Take it out to the grocery store and then back home. Break in is now done.

Well, figuring you will engage and disengage the clutch probably a dozen times on the trip, I would say "that's all".
