honda recommands 1000km, so around 600 miles, but it wouldn't hurt if you break-in for say, 1000 miles or so, enjoy

I believe you stay below Vtec (app 4900) but do not drive at a constant RPM rate for long periods of time. i.e. on highway driving 80 mph at 2200 rpms for hours. Try and fluctuate the RPMS
But I'm sure the dealer already told you that...

Dealer said 7,500 b/c
that is what the maintenance schedule calls for under normal conditions. I would split the diff and get it changed around 3,750.
Oh, btw, congrats on the car.
First mod you should do is the fog light rewire. You can find detailed instructions in the FAQ.

1600+miles
I just made a trip to NYC and back and deemed my car properly brocken in, it is a 3.5 week old ABP w/black interior. I just started trying to gun it and this mutherf***er flies. According to the website, induction valve activates at 3800 and vtec at 4800. Might be racing my coworkers rsx type-s next week but we'll see.
