The break in is to make sure the clutch wears a nice "seat" pattern in the flywheel. The idea is to keep it below 4000rpm until it gets the proper wear pattern, don't worry about taking it on the highway, just don't take it over 4k if you want to break it in. That said, I know many people who don't even bother breaking them in, course many of these guys are more racers than street drivers.
