May not be a concern to you, but the possibility of a warranty denial would be my concern.
But, I would probably wait until the initial break in has been done. Just my preference and others may disagree.

Personally, I would put the 500 mile break-in and at least another 500 miles before I considered voiding my powertrain warranty on an $80,000 car (in all fairness, I probably wouldn't add some parts that will provide little added performance in exchange for voiding the warranty - especially since an engine swap will be in the $25k range).
