I will be installing a new camshaft and will need to do a proper breakin on it upon first startup. What is considered the proper RPM for breaking in a cam on a 1958 Chevy 261? I never liked the idea or reving a new engine too much. I'm actually quite nervious about this. Thanks inadvance Walt Williams La Lerkin, Ut
