Default piston-wall clearance

hey guys, the motor in question is a 4.03 iron block turbo motor with 24cc dish diamond pistons. diamond suggests .0055" piston to wall clearance. this seems like a minute amount for 20+ psi. any thoughts?

What grade of aluminum?

Did you tell Diamond you were putting 20+psi into it? If you didn't, you might ask them again and mention the boost.
