Valve springs and retainers will let you spin your engine higher w/o getting into valve float. As far as valves are concerned, you can get oversized, you can get valves that are more tolerant to heat, many options. At 15psi I don't think you'll need any work there. BTW, do you have an intercooler? Didn't see it in your setup.

i run mine at 27psi and 9000 rpm.the only reason i have not gone above 27psi is that the boost controller won't turn it any higher for some reason.
