Default Tuning/Drivetrain question

Here is the deal, the stock motor decided to go bye bye on me so i am going all out this time, but i really right now only have the money for the motor. And with being on hawaii tuning is just HARD esp SD tunes. So i have a once in a lifetime (well at least a couple years) chance to get a solid SD tune or at least get one started off. So now on to my question...i am shooting for around 800 at the wheels. So i have the stock trans, driveshaft, and 10bolt. My clutch should be ok. But do you think that just for dyno purposes the stock drive train will hold up to some 4th gear pulls just so i can get it dialed in at high boost than drive around at low boost for a while. Or should i just start off with low boost and try to dial in high boost at a later time on my own.
