I believe CTDNut is correct. For your smaller set of twins...you may be overboosting them.
Jim Fulmer (800 hp+/-)...with a B-2 on the bottom and an HX-40, I believe, on top is at about 80 psi.
Might want to experiment with a little less testosterone?
Who did the Firering job for you?

How did you look at the rods?? My xray vision does not penetrate the side of the block...
Pumps??? What are you talking about?

That's all.
If I remeber right the job pays like 7 hours.

Many "head only" jobs are holding lots of boost...but the precision of the cutting job is all important as to how well it holds, IMO.

I always put a "foot" on the fromt dampner and lift the motor a bit.
