Thanks for doing this! Can't wait to get my Challenger!
Owners manual will tell you to be nice to it for the first 500 miles.

I would certainly put a tank of fuel thru it minimizing time at WOT, check all the fluids and it should be good.

WE do a very specific 14 hour breakin on new engines. At 30 mph , thats 700 miles . Diffs break in in 200 miles of driving with some amount of gentle cornerring.
