its not about preasuare but about how much air you are moving into the motor.
a t25 at 20 psi probably wont make enough power to destroy anything.
but a gt42r at 14 psi would probably leave you laughing your butt off
after a pull or 2 when tuning.

Research! A block guard won't help you with stock pistons and rods still in the block.

just saying psi doesnt make power air flow makes power.
its usualy a certian power level that poeple see motors coming apart at,
but not all motors handle the power the same. whoever tuned your 440hp
b18 should be able to tell you what hes seen a setup like yours handle.
