Mess up your car by using cruise or going over 60?

Not hardly. VTEC is pretty high up in the rev-range - be easy on it until break-in is over.

do0ooo0d, dont use cruise until the break in period is over! When an engine is new it has to be broken in and if you maintain a constant speed for any length of time before the engine is broken in, you could shorten the life of the engine. What happens is that the cyliders may get a groove and not wear evenly or something like that.

Going over 60 should not hurt it but take it easy at first.

The cars performance will increase over time. you will get better performance at 30K miles than for the first 15k miles. That is just the way it is.
