I don't think so - I think you want to put about 500 miles of easy driving on the rear end before you put your foot into it (as you would on the Dyno) - if you don't break the rear end in easily, you could end up w/ rear gears that whine.
GM replaced the rear diff on my SRX.
They had a process that required it to be driven for 50 miles to bring it up to temp and then be cooled overnight.
Over the next 500 miles I was on a break in period....
no full throttle, various rpm/speed ranges, nothing over 70 miles per hour.
