We can only go by others experience but that is still conservative for the rev up- i know most with the revup will call 10psi the limit for the block... No idea for the kit. My suggestion to you might be to do your initial lower for a couple thousand miles/ work out any teething problems you may come across- and then crank it up. I'm not a car guy- and some may say "meh- crank it now... Work out your teething problems faster!"
I just wouldn't want your block to be the "teething problem."
10 seems reasonable and conservative max for the mt. What you're proposing sounds reasonable to me (though my research).

Coating is supposed to be a lot better, several guys on my350 had turbo failures using the blankets. I think it was bearings? Don't quote me on that though, I think the problem was thought to be the way the blankets trap the heat around the turbo. By trapping hot air around the turbo where as the coating still allows ambient air to flow around the turbo and help cool it. the theory makes sense to me and the failures blanket guys were having seems to prove it. I had blankets but went with coating after reading about the failures.
What's custom about the blanket? It looks like an off the shelf DEI blanket
