You can do whatever you want to your car because, well, it's your car. Your money.
Me? I trust the manufacturer's engineers who know this car inside, outside, and can tell you the tensile strength of the crankshaft in the LT1 a whole hell of a lot more than a "guest" on a web forum. So yeah, the break in period is definitely needed.
Don't forget, new cars have very tightly wound engines. Both the LGX V6 and LT1 V8 are very free reving and have a higher redline than older cars. You don't want to come close to redlining these new engines until they're broken in.
