I found my recommended break-in within the manual. For the 3.6L they suggested highway speeds for the first 500 miles.

From the 392 Owners Manual Supplement:

The owners manual recommends the first oil change at 6000 miles. Nothing I've seen on the forum (or elsewhere) regarding oil analysis seems to suggest that an earlier change is required, however that may be more of a personal experience / comfort decision.

Thank you all. Very helpful and I can’t imagine how hard it’s going to be to keep my foot out of it especially for 1500 miles. But I will follow it.

thank you again

The first 100 miles was the worst - but I cruised around town & back roads with the 'performance mode' button pushed and its hard to say I didn't have a big smile on my face the whole time

I drove from PA to Florida and put around 1k miles on it. First 100 was slow but thankfully I was able to hop on a slow interstate with an mph max of 55 and there was traffic so no worries there. So, I changed mine at around 1k miles because it of the trip from PA to FL again like others mentioned it pre

Quite the difference for engine break-in to the 3.6L:

Whoops…just realized I forgot the WOT parts.
