new engine break in
Although I have found some information on engine break in procedure I seem to recall an article on engine break in that had a somewhat different approach to this and it seemed to make sence. It all revolved around piston ring seating. If anybody could recall the link, would be great. Thank you.

I think this is the one you're talking about:

Interestingly, this is exactly what my builder told me to do on the engine I just had built. Basically start it up, get a base tune, and hit it with 3-10 dyno runs. Then change the oil, and run it for a weekend, change the oil again and that's that.
Of course, my new shortblock is sitting on the stand still so I haven't tried this approach.
If you do a search in the "engine mods" section of the forum, I recall seeing a pretty lengthy thread on the topic.
