I'm guessing you've already changed oil at least once. But if not, do so and tune that bee-otch! 
I WOT my engines, although not quite to maximum RPM, on the initial drive as part of the process to seat the rings properly.

Yeah I know people who will go ahead and go WOT after rebuilding an engine and as far as I know havent had any problems yet. I've always been told to drive about 1000 miles or so and change the oil before I do any aggressive driving. Guess we'll see how well you rebuilt it

Yes, just fresh heads shouldn't be a problem at all. And on the bottom end, all of the major wearing in should have already occurred within a couple of hundred miles.
