It was safe. My builder had a dyno, so I had him break the motor in at his shop.
The roar was because I could not get the Pypes exhaust puzzle installed myself, so there is only a short section of pipe press fitted behind the headers followed by a set of Violator mufflers safety wired into place.
I did not rev it very much for fear of blowing the mufflers off!
