You can break in on boost no problem, most people prefer to do so because it will seat things with the pressures that they will be seeing most of their life.
All of this stuff is personal preference though. I will be breaking in on 7lbs because my clutch needs a 500 mile break-in, after that she will see the full 16lbs. And the lead foot
I'm going to run boost on the break in too. I tried to go super easy on it but I know I will want to feel the powa so I'm glad you justified my lead foot syndrome.

I've seen this beast in person! Doesn't sound terrible either
Noise wise it is bearable. The fumes however are a different story. I'll just chalk it up under the hotrodding lifestyle.
This afternoon I'm going to put some serious miles on if my little oil leak is taken care of. I think I have it nailed down. I tightened some slightly loose 10mm bolts on the vanos cover. One might be stripped and not from me tighting... The PO did some weird things so this didn't surprise me. Anyways, we will see how the garage floor looks!
It sees boost to 5psi. I got on it last night on an on ramp. She got scary in 2nd 7/8 down to the floor @ 3800rpm. I let off at 4500 and just started laughing! I'm trying to ease this thing in!

You'll hear me long before you see me!
You should take this to the LMT Fall Dyno Days. Should be broken in and tuned by then, right?
When is this?
Nice
Thanks!
In for a video!
I don't think my phone knows how to upload vids...

Garage pic.
Wednesday I should be dropping off the car at the exhaust dude's shop. I might have him make me a catch can with 12AN fittings custom fit to the battery tray. After I get the CCV sorted I'll tackle the oil leak coming from the vanos cover(that's where I think it is at least).
