With the Mahle pistons...150 max! Mahle pistons are made out of 4032 forged alum, which is high silicon. Diamond, je, wiseco, and ross are 2618 forged alum, and can hold more heat and take more abuse. If your going to get the Mahle pistons, make sure your tune is spot on!

150 max, We hit stock pistons with 200 shots, lol.

Tune better be spot on no matter what piston he uses. Improper fueling/spark will destroy any piston.

seeing you have a forged bottom end. I am assuming the used all the h series bearings. if so I wouldn't go any further than a 200. and w/ the diamond pistons I would say you can push it to 300
