Unless you put it through some heat cycles, I'd go for another 150

Heat cycling is more important, the gear though will get louder when you start pushing on them.

Also CHange the oil after a few 1000 miles.

I plan on taking it easy now, no point taking it to the track with street slicks unless they actually prep the track right. Hopefully with that tire my 10 bolt will hold up
