Don't know about aftermarket. But when i had my stock clutch and flywheel replaced under warranty, it slipped a bit and smelled for the first few hundred miles. After that it was good to go! Just take it easy for a while.

Drive normally for 500 miles while avoiding any high rpm clutch drops or shifts. The point of a break in is to seat the surfaces while avoiding any glazing. High heat generated from high rpm shifts can glaze the clutch and ruin its lifespan.

I was told 400-500 stop-n-go miles.
This article came up in a Google search, last question:
T: Why is clutch break-in so important?
S: We recommend 200 to 300 miles of mellow usage for our street discs. The purpose of breaking in a clutch is to engage the disc in a controlled, consistent manner to ensure the disc, pressure plate and flywheel all make full surface contact. It's also a chance for the friction material to experience normal heat cycles.
