Unless you're gonna keep it in 1st gear to the redline and just shift like a pu$$ to 2nd ... Generally, 2nd gear in VTEC breaks at least 90% of the world's posted public road speed limits.

THe 600 mile mark is not a magic number or a binary switch. If you did not vary the engine load enough during that first 600 miles, I am not sure it is as broken in as it should be. In any case, the engine continues it's break in process till about 7500-10,000 miles depending on how it is driven.
