They have over 10:1 compression. There are many many stories of people with 5-7 PSI blowers who's pistons die after installing the blowers. Length of time varies. Do it right, install a stronger crank, pistons, and rods.

David, Do a search here on the site for what you need. If you plan on going through with this definately look into stronger internals, I.E steel cranks, forged rods, and forged pistons. I know personally on how long engines last with you.lol
