Spec stage 3+ and Fidanza flywheel question

I just got the spec 3+ and Fidanza flywheel installed about two weeks ago, and I was just wondering if others with the same setup had any noises from the setup during the break in period? When the clutch is cold and say I am on a hill and start to inch up it makes a kind of moaning sound right before it fully engages. After everthing heats up it runs great no funny sounds or anything. I talk to the shop that installed it and they said that it sounds like it is not getting full contact until the aluminum flywheel heats up and expands. Just wondering if this is due to materials, break in period, or if they need to adjust something. I have about 650 miles on the setup right now which is over the break in period that spec sets. Thanks for reading this and hopfully answering some questions. Sorry for the long post I don't have much time to log on so I wanted to try and give a complete run down of what its doing.

you really should break that clutch in for about 1000 miles instead of the advertised 500 just my .02

That's what I've heard and I am waiting till 1,000 before I start beating on it. This is when driving it lightly and after a few quick exelerations and everything seems to warm up good it pretty much goes away.

It also does it a little when down shifting. I'm going to take it to the shop that installed it I guess and let them listen. I'm hoping that it is nothing to serious; I called and told the shop what it was doing and they said that they think that it may just be the materials. So I figured that maybe it just needs to break in but its been a while and it hasn't really improved.
