Your using stock injectors with an almost stock map on your ecu.
You should be fine as long as your IAT sensor & every other sensor is plugged in properly & functioning properly etc...
Simply stay out of any loaded condition (full throttle) and follow the common break in procedures.

i broke in my ls v for 500 miles. just normal driving. no loads, nuthin past 6500 rpms, no more than 3/4 throttle. just easy. been rompin on it ever since n havent had a problem yet. ur piston rings will break in very quickly, its the rod bearings that need time to seat.

I asked Steve this question once a few years back . (OMNIMAN, exceed any Honda engine builder here in TR.com) and told me the samething as all the hardcore engine builders in the country.
"Warm it up for a few minutes and rev it to redline."
My brand new ITR motor I bought about 5 years ago (yes brand new cause I work at Acura at the time) went w/ this procedure except there wasn't a warmup time.
The throtte got stuck at on its first engine start and was there for a good 10 second, lol. Don't believe me, ask John @ LHT cause we did the swap there, lol. The cable got stuck cause I was not paying attention was alignedthe cable to the trottle plate (fukin parts guy)
. Once that was fixed, clean up, left LHT and stomp on it all the way to 8500 RPM on Park blvd. Then droved home on I-275 back to Bradenton.
Hard 80,000 miles later and a few 12s runs, motor is still in my car to date!!!
So yeah, after that many miles, my motor is buring oil now so I've should have broke-in at the dyno!

So, I dont have the money right now to do a dyno tune, so I should just break it in easy correct? Without high revv's and stuff..

I've always done it this way and will continue to
Prime. Start. Idle 1500RPM - 2000RPM. Dial in a:f at idle. Sync ignition timing. Jack front of car up with radiator cap open. Bleed cooling system. Let it run for twenty to twenty five minutes. Change oil and oil filter. Tune partial throttle. Change oil and oil filter. Tune wide open throttle. Change oil and oil filter. Done
