I've got about 500 miles on it since the build. How much damage might have been done? Any ways to check once I figure it out?
You are probably all right if you get on it quickly but you should do so. At our compression detonation in our 3.0 's leads to broken rings and lower piston skirt damage. If you don't find bits in the oil you should be fine and I suspect you'd have more issues anyway.
Dial it back and use a booster.
