When I worked at an engine shop, I put probably 15 blower motors on the dyno. Anything from a 350ci with a 6-71 to 420+ci small blocks with up to 10-71's, 18-20lbs of boost, and upwards of 1,000hp.
Standard procedure, no matter fuel, boost levels, etc (excluding flat tappet cams, ofcourse) was to start it, check timing, oil pressure, leaks, etc etc. The second the oil hit 200 degrees, my boss would bring the motor up against the pump and check out oil pressure and the detonation meter. If nothing was wrong, she'd be on her way to 7500rpm or more, full boost.-Matt
