Once the rings seat in, you will feel as though the brakes have been released.
Denny,very well said.
I.M.O.,I would not add all synthetic this early.
We have dicussed this on other posts.
There are many varibles.
Finish on cylinder bores,cross-hatch patteren,ring material etc.
When I add synthetic I don't do it this early.
I would wait until about 3,000 that way you know for sure the rings are seated.I am assuming they are cast rings.
If they are moly,plasma moly, etc.
I would wait until 5,000 miles.
