How long does it usually take to break in a new clutch?

As long as the surfaces were clean, the clutch should be good to go. AFAIK, doesn't require any special break-in. Obviously, don't do a 5K RPM dump the first time out.

Just to be sure that I torked the bolts down properly; can somone verify that I am right about the Torque. I torked the four bolts for the torque tube that attaches to the bellhousing to 30ft pounds and I torked the two lower bolts on the transmission that hook up to the torque tube to 30 as well. I believe these are right? Any ways today was I think the most productive day so far. A friend and I put the pressure plate/ clutch in as well as the bellhousing, torque tube and transmisson.
