As long as the liner length, skirt design and piston fit point is calculated correctly you should not have and rocking at btdc or ring seal issues.
We would much rather see a purpose built piston for a combo like that(big stroke and N2o vs a shelf part)
We can supply you with what you need.
As far as RPM capability and HP goes that will be based off of valve train stability, intake and exhaust components, oiling system and camshaft selection its very hard to say until you get it on a dyno and start testing.

thanks guys , these were a custom set of pistons from wiseco aswe told them the use and so on so the skirt is short etc . i knew it wasnt gonna be a 100k runner lol, the valvetrain was all speced from tooley with morel lifters .
