Default Stock headgasket??

just curious if anyone knows what the stock head gasket is good till.. i was out on 114 octane last night and at one point 26 psi, so i'm thinking my head could have lifted or blown the headgasket, haven't noticed any problems yet but then again i haven't taken the car out yet today
