Shouldn't be a problem. Might want to idle about 800 to 1000 not 650. It won't make that much difference in the wake.

Try to keep it above 2000 for first 20 min, then load it, varying speed.
After 10 hours, then hit wot for 5 min at a time, slow and let the block cool down, and repeat. 20 hours=broke in.
