New Clutch

I just installed a new clutch kit (OEM) and was wondering if there are any ideas on break-in procedures? I plan on not racing engine and keeping rpms below 4k for 500-1000mi.
Secondly, is there a need to adjust it at any point during/after break-in or is it good to go once installed??

RPM's don't really matter much. Just take it easy when shifting and don't rev to 6000 RPM at a standstill and drop the clutch ... at least not for 500 miles or so.

It doesn't take long for the new clutch plate and flywheel to mate. Just use common sense.
