For the cost I would get it down to a good ROLLING ROAD, so that a full load fuelling check/adjust can be made SAFELY without risk of engine damage!!
My check cost me £30, so cheap piece of mind.

As Tabetha says, you'll need a fuelling check as you cannot be sure of the map.

I had an almost exact same setup as you with only a standard 4x4 IC, and using an MSD chip, and was peaking 26psi and holding 24psi, so you should have plenty more to come............

I used to have a very similar setup which I ran with about 24psi peak and hold!

Mine was using a Bayjhoo Stage 3 chip.
