Is there any way I would be able to do such breaking in on the road instead ? I know it would be a lot easier on a dyno but I kinda wanted to save the dyno time for when the tuner is actually flown in.

Thank you again for such detailed explanations,

Again I do truly appreciate it greatly
For road only I'd try both of two methods

1. Flog the absolute shit out of it! Not so much redline every gear but don't baby it. High load is good

2. Brake loading. This requires a good stretch of road etc that you can apply throttle as well as the brake to increase load on the engine while also keeping rpm low. You have to be mindful of engine heat as well as brake heat. You don't want to overheat your brakes nor your engine.
