Hi Jayson,
If the motor has been rebuilt recently most of the parts will be well lubricated. If you wait the oils will drain back, and make the start up after say 6 months a little dry (esp rings). Considering a new cam needs to be run hard for 10 mins, the car needs to start and run first go. So, I would run it hard now, bed the cam in, get it hot and hardened. Waiting some months, may make the start harder, and may not do the cam any good.
FWIW John
