Some smaller turbo or supercharger kits exclude blowoff valves. Running 10 psi I'm happy to see they are present. But that leads me to ask about running 10 psi on the stock rods, especially on 91 which detonates almost as soon as you put it in your gas tank.

Some people seem to be finding the upper limit of these rods to be around 550whp and I would have concerns about longevity. Are there any concerns from you guys at GTM? I live the in the land of 93, and probably wouldn't want to run more than 9 psi, but could see an issue where people tune their cars to run 11-12 psi on 93 octane and then throw a rod through the side of their block.
