I've always been told to drive like a granny, not going past 3k rpm, changing gear reguarly, basically dont have fun for the first 1000-2000miles of a new engine, after maxing my revs earlier today i felt abit guilty, so i googled...

This seems to be a common break-in result on google, basically as long as the engines upto optimum temperature, the guy reccomends revving the engine to seal the rings.... meaning increases performance / increased life.
Golden rule is generally be nice while its cold, but feel free to rag it when its reached temp (which the Evo does very quickly.)
This makes alot more sense to me, that driving is slow & steady. I was wondering if any professional engineers or people in the know would be able to discredit or agree with this?
(Note, please dont be ragging your new engines this weekend just incase! this is complete bs!)
