I would have let the builder/s break the engine in on the Dynomometer just after they built it. Everything is in a controlled environment that way and all parameters of the break-in process can be carefully monitored and controlled.

Nothing to be worried about except for excessive heat. I have heard many horror stories with dealers tuning a build. Make sure you get air fuel readings in your report so you can truly see whats going on. Also ask if they are doing it inhouse or subbing it out. I know a local indy that Dyno tunes for a dealer and must say though he is pretty good.. I have dealt with him in the past...
