If im not mistaken aluminum melts at approx, 675*C and 1275*F so running those numbers as a maximum EGT would be safe as it would take quite some time for the metal to absorb the heat. I run my engine at 1200F for long periods of time without issue.
enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..
