That is the spirit Heath.
I'll cover a few of the main points here to sumerise.
1/ Deans are ok but really for power and efficiency you need to go for bullets and for a XL motors 5.5 are very highly reccomended (by me) trust me on that one !
2/ 5 min runs between "touching the can" or temp check will be fine while your setup is low proped and high rated on the esc side.
Once you up the prop the power will flow and things get hot fast.
1 min should be the max you run between temp check during setup time.
I can blow solder joints in 30 secs
3/ Lastly, I run a 642 on a 9xL in my mono and the 100A speedy is barely warm but the motor is warm and the pack is, well that pack is farked anyway, so it gets well warm after 2 mins on the pond.
Bottom line is.
With a reasonable esc that can do 125A+ Sustained you will be fine with the 9XL on 4S unless you do something really stupid.
I'm keen as always to help.
