So... I can firewall the throttle levers without overboosting the engines
on a Seneca 2?

Doug,

Doing so would exceed max rated M.P. by about 1". The Pop-offs are
designed to be last chance protection against overboost, and are not to
be relied upon in normal operation. See:

Look at the section titled "How do you spell relief" on page 8.

Happy Flying!
