I have seen 12 psi hold up for quite some time on a procharged set-up, never really "blew" just started with a lot of blowby...

Had 30% on leakdown and lots of blowby. Had a forged motor waiting to go in so I ran the crap out of the stock one. With two bad cylinders, it still ran like a **** and didn't blow!

UPDATE: If you haven't seen my other thread, I just lost my motor to 10.5 psi. It was beat on HARD for 18k-ish miles. Motor had 54k miles on it before it was boosted, and was beat on then as well. lol
It'll take the abuse like a champ, but don't plan on it lasting forever.

Hang in there Carl. You know all about my problems and somehow I got my kit working. It is not done yet, but it works for the moment.
You will get it done.
Are you on stock shortblock?
