Congrats! :thumbup:

Follow the manual and you will never be denied any warranty claim.

Like Loren says--don't lug the engine, let it warm up nicely, and then increase the maximum revs by a few hundred each 300-500 miles. I kept it under 4000 rpm for the first 1000 miles, and hit 5500 by 2000 miles. I now have 11,000 on the car and use practically zero oil in hard highway and stop-and-go driving. Enjoy!
