The most important thing is to make sure the cam is broke in properly which takes place for the first 15 - 20 minutes of initial run time. The engine after it is fired needs to run at high RPM ( follow cam manufactures recomendations for this).

After that, change the oil and then change the oil again at 500 miles. I would not go doing burn outs at every light but there is no need to baby it either. If it is built correctly, it will last a long time.
