Let it get up to operating temperature before romping on it too hard. After that, drive the hell out of it! But also remember, there's an old saying that "nothing good happens over 6,000 RPM." The engine may be able to handle it, but you don't want to spend too much time there. The Cleveland has a heavy valve train, and as Doug already pointed out, a breakage can be expensive.
