Default Tool steel pins needed?

I am in process of building a forged 6.0, using wiseco pistons, k1 rods, and stock crank. What HP level should the standard wiseco wrist pins be used? I plan to make over 1000rwhp through the poweglide using the s480 with race cover. Trying to decide if I need the tool steel pins.....

Do it. No point in not unless you want to rev it to the moon, then weight may be a concern.

Do most turbo builds use tool steel pins at 1100 HP level? 6600 rpm shifts...

If the RPM will stay under 8k-run them.
