I like that you say your gonna try it for "THE HELL OF IT!" because that shows great spirit. The only downfall would be a blown motor, but WHO CARES!!!

It's better to spray now that you're on the DYNO, that way you'll know it A/F and how well it responds to the 150...for the track.

It will be fine, especially with higher octane gas. If you want to be real safe, take out 2 degrees in your tune.
