Do i need to "break-in" the car after installing multiple engine parts?

I am going to have AMS install some parts for me next week along with dyno tune the car.
Currently performance wise i have a RS-R turboback exhaust, APS blow off valve and the Works air filter. I am the original owner and have 47000 miles on the car. Runs strong and pulls as hard as the day i got her.

AMS will be installing: HKS 272/272 cams, 10.5 single flapper hotside , HKS EVC 5 boost controller, AMS FMIC, samco IC hoses, walboro pump, and ARP studs. They will also change the fluids in the TC case, rear diff, and tranny. And then lastly dyno tune.

MY QUESTION IS:
Do i need to do any type of "break-in" procedure after i get my parts installed?

Think it would be necessary/recommended to properly "break-in" the car after the additional items are on?

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't think you need a break in. They are going to be beating on it on the dyno, so your fine.

no break-in needed

All i would do is heat cycle the headstud and then torque them again

but ams should know to do that already

No need to break in since you didn't touch the clutch,TC,tranny,piston,rod.

Thanks for the input! Even if a break in were needed it would be DAMN hard to overcome my lead foot and constant craving for boost!
I will confirm with AMS that no engine "break-in" is needed, just to see their opinion
