you wont blow the pistons 
ragging it is prob the best thing you can do in my opinion (sensible calculated ragging)
You want the rings to bed in quickly.

ive read about this and apparently the old method was 1500-3000 as engines were machined not so well in those days. Hard and soft running in its your choice ...

best way to bed in is NOT to stay at the same rev's, just keep going up and down rev range
say but dont go over 4000 first 1000miles
