BEST way to BREAK in a EVO 9
Drive it like a baby till you hit 1500 miles. This will give you enough time to get some heat into your drivetrain, transmission, and engine. It will in time loosen things up and decrease the chances of you breaking something later.

Manual states to keep it under 5k for 500 miles. Personally, I varied a bit.. sometimes 4k, sometimes 5k.. once or twice I redlined it. I'm at 510 miles now on the odometer, and will change the oil at 1k. Second oil change at 5k, then every 5k after that...
I did 500 mile break in. Didn't pass 5000 RPM. Changed the oil and filter when I got home, and when I hit 500, and when I hit 2500. Every oil change at 2500 and I drive my car like I should.

Even if you don't follow his break-in procedure, the guy is a thoughtful writer and worth a read.
No one will fault you for following the manual, though.
