Cool Great combo there. Sounds like a lot of fun

I would also avoid the top 15% of your powerband for the first few thousand miles...you have lots of power anyway... a few short bursts may not hurt, but keep it minimal for the first two K miles..... do NOT exceed redline at all, anytime, but especially during break - in ! A shift light can be configured for a lower than redline RPM so you can have some fun without going too far at first. Do NOT use synthetic oil until you reach at least 3,000 miles...this is my opinion only...ask around
Others may have more or better advice to share on this...
