ive ran 18 psi through one with standard head bolts. never let go and is still in the cr at the moment. ive heard good things of them, im planning to make 300kw on my new set up. will see how it goes, but i asked this same question a year or so ago and didnt get any bad feedback on them, i could probably do with a set of studs though.

As long as you don't get crazy combustion pressure (Ie detonation) then it will be fine for as much as you can throw at it. It is generally the fastners that let you down when really leaning on it.
