Do it now just so you have some rough estimate of power numbers. Then pull the car apart. Its not like you have to worry about ------- more ---- up since you are pulling it apart afterwards anyways. I say dyno till you hit 40psi and see if anything else breaks. Then you know you need to fix those too when you rebuild.

Start at 20psi
Then 30psi
Finish the big bang theory with 40psi

Will your valvesprings hold the extra pressure or are we going to see some float on the dyno graph?

Yes valvesprings are made from pure iron.

Fix issues and then dyno, you've worked too hard to do something stupid and kill it.

If I had an NB I'd be telling you to go for it so it would die and I'd call dibs on some of your trash.

Don't we build them to test them? No?

F*ck it. Go big or don't go at all. Run 40 psi, and like others said, video that shiz. I fully agree with the "go out in a blaze of glory".
