The stock pistons can take a lot of power, but they can't take any abuse (detonation).
I really pushed the stock long block in one of my last cars and was reasonably successful. .
same here. well I pushed the stock shortblock. It saw probably around 300-400 lbs of nitrous go through it between 138k -160k miles then I put 14 psi to it until I got oil fumes from the PCV lowered the octane rating of my fuel enough to crack #8 piston
