I kept it under 4500rpm's and under 10psi of boost for 1000 miles because most of my driving is highway, only 500 miles for city driving. Now I am gradually getting on it.

Everyone time I go a new car. I would do a little of both. Baby it and push it a little.

Depends on what type of clutch you have, for the GMPP one I was reccomened be easy on it for a while until it's had quite a few heat cycles. Do smooth shifts, revmatch properly. It sucks but it's worth it haha.
