Message	A perfectly running Z can easily maintain 16psi on the highway. I suspect you either had cooling issues, as it appears in the picture, or something else going wrong to cause this piston meltage. While it is not wise or recomended to run 16psi on stock intercoolers/injectors it in and of itself will not cause the meltdown you suffered. Antihero These 2530's ain't half bad ;)
