Question Under boost piston quetion.

I have a set of Mahle forged 4032 pistons. How much HP a 4032 forging can handle under boost?

I've been mid 9's and 145mph with them in a 4850lb 4x4 truck. The engine has also been a daily driver and made it thru countless tuning misshaps, along with a few standing mile runs with a cpl bad injectors, malfunctinoning meth pump, and 8000+ rpm. I built the engine back in 2007 drove it dd for 3 yrs then sold it. The string of misshaps have happend in it's 2nd life and still going strong. Mind you this was a flat top piston that I cut a .050" dish in and always ran on gas, 91 oct pump most of the time.

936RWHP runs 139mph in my truck.

4032's will last a while....... Dealt with some skirt shrinkage from them in my drag car with the spray. 2618's are in it this go around...... They will hold up better to the spray.
