My ---- held up after a few runs at 12psi.
Took the kit off and did a compression test and it came up to 160 across.

Re:OK ok, who here has NOT blown their engine?
Well I'm going to keep adding power until it blows for some other cause than detonation. If you blow a motor by detonation then you're doing something wrong. If it blows from too much torque for the crank to handle, then it's just time for an upgrade.
Currently what I got is stock motor with pistons I machined for lower compression.
