My friend with an Accord just went thru the same thing, he broke in the engine and his clutch at the same time. It took some time but he is nearly there.
I know for me when I realized the $ I had into the build, keeping my foot out of it was easy. Then when you feel that engine start to find its power and that clutch start to grab ... nothing like feeling a build come to life. Enjoy.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
