i dont think that there is a need to break in a clutch - like you would with new brakes or a new engine.

I broke my new clutch in by driving it 180 miles to a drag strip, and then running a few times.

I beat a new Golf 1.8T!! hehe

TECH TIP – CENTRIFUGAL WEIGHTS IN DIAPHRAGM STREET/STRIP APPLICATIONS

Some aftermarket diaphragm pressure plates feature a centrifugal weighting system. Centrifugal assist is useful in drag racing and other high RPM applications to apply additional clamp load to the clutch disc. The drawback to centrifugal assist in highway performance applications is that the centrifugal assist is low until the engine reaches high RPM. The load on the clutch (the effort required to turn the driveshaft) is very high at low RPM and decreases at higher RPM. In most highway applications centrifugal assist is not effective in increasing holding power or performance because it fails to solve the high torque load at low RPM problem.
