2.6 on a TVS safe?

Is there a sticky, or could someone make a sticky about how far you can "push" the TVS to the end of the "safe" zone? I've done a lot of research and just get mixed information. Does anyone on here have legitimate experience with a TVS using a 2.6" pulley? Please list all your cooling mods, or more, if you want.

My plan is to run a 2.6" and only rev the car out to 7,250RPM. That should be good enough to generate around 25psi. I currently have a 2nd h/e, opt b, dual pass, and a meth kit in the closet. Should I run my 5GPH nozzle or upgrade to 10GPH? I have talked to the person that is going to tune my car and they say running 100% is safe. So that is my plan. I know everyone has their own opinions about that.

My question is, can you run a 2.6" pulley safely with a good tune? We need to get more sticky threads. I personally don't like posting questions often. Thank you all.

If your tune is spot on and you have all the tools to monitor what the car is doing your only main concerns will be heat and cylinder pressure. But with anything, if your going to push it there is always the chance of failure.

I know there is a TVS sticky. What I wanted to know is if the pulley is safe. Since this is my DD I am just going to use the 2.8" pulley I already have. Thank you. It isn't worth the chance of it failing.
