Fresh engine/ lightweight flywheel Ok during break in?

Hey guys, I've got a '89 gxl with an engine that recently died.
I think I'm going with a mazda reman. but I want to add a lightweight steel flywheel when I put the new engine in. I know you need 300-500 break in miles, keeping the engine under 4 or 5k rpm. So is breaking in the torqueless N/A engine with a zippy new light flywheel, a good idea?
Anyone done this before?
Thanks.

Light steel flywheels are very streetable.

You'll be just fine.


I broke mine in with a RB steel flywheel and it's just fine.
