reason i ask is becuase i will need to tune on the dyno which means full WOT 7000rpm runs... when is the car safe to do this? maybe 5000miles?

ya, do your first oil change early though. There will be alot more crap in it then a 50,000mile car. Has to seat the rings and get the cyl walls matched up.. I say do oil change after 500miles, then do another one at 1000, then turbo it.
