    I don't see why it wouldn't hold up as long as there was no detonation.

    super rich murdered HP levels down low enough making it run safer as well. On the edge making max HP at boost it would have folded.

    true but still was spinning the wheels in 3rd in peak boost , dont know how much hp i have but new stock clutch dont hold the 4-5 gear

    next step is 2.5 cb with 3bar cal and 6 puck ,same set-up but 4 runners alky nozzles and will try to get 10.5 :1 to 11.5 air fuel ratio

    At 16 PSI my LW rod engine pushed my GLHS to 12.69@109 on radials and spun in 3rd. Even in a LW L body the T2/T3 clutch slipped in high gear and the timing hole in the trans looked like a smoke stack. Then the engine caved not long after. This was with +20s and a MP stage 2. A slipping clutch and tires made life easy on the engine, had the clutch and tires hooked hard the engine would have caved sooner.

    Lean it up, get a good clutch and some tires and things will change
