They say you shouldn't use Sythetic to break it in, causes the rings not to wear correctly.

Changed the oil at 500 miles, then I started pushing it some, not exceeding 5500 rpms till I reached about 1000 miles and finely when I reached 1200 miles (3day later) I did red lined a couple of times. Changed oil to Syth. Oil. Sweet Car! Runs Strong..20000 miles later..

isn't somewhere in the manual said avoid the long distance driving during first 1200 miles?

When I said "extended periods of freeway driving" It was no more than maybe 50 miles or so, then I would get back on the back roads and continue to up and down shift. I think this helps the rings and valves to sit properly.
