I just got my flash drive in so I'm already loading it up with lots of music. lol
If it was me, I'd stop every couple of hours, let things cool while I get gas/food/pee/take a picture, then get back on the road again. Running on the highway, even varying speeds, won't allow the engine temperatures to rise/fall enough to let the new parts break-in.
