Yup, need a pressure relief valve that will flow 60 cfm and can be set to 50 psi.  It must already have a PRV, perhaps it can be
adjusted to 50 psi (maybe by trimming turns out of the spring).

Might be worth looking into some way of slowing down the engine as well; modify the governor or whatnot.  That relief valve is going
to be noisy.
