Mark, That is the exact break in procedure we always used for our Legends race car. Worked very well for us.

Static break in procedure: 
Start the car and run it until the engine warms up, at whatever RPM is 
necessary for proper cam lobe break in. When warm, shut off and let sit 
until it is ambient temp. 
Start the car and do the same thing again, until the engine is warm. Shut 
off and let cool to ambient. 
Two runs of three minutes each should set the rings enough that they should 
seal enough on the first drive to stop the excessive breather issue. You 
could also remove the PCV from the system and just let the pressure blow 
unitl it settles down. 
My aircraft engines would finish sealing in the first 20 minutes of flight, 
after the two on the ground runs. This was noted by a significant reduction 
in CHT. Oil consumption in that first 30 minutes of run time was about 1/4 
to 1/2 quart, and would stabilize to almost zero after that (Which is great 
for a big bore aircraft engine).
