I wouldn't argue your points, but the hypereutectic pistons used aren't typical cast slugs. Besides, the engine has oil squirters to cool them and the BOSS gets forged internals... Just about everything I've read about this engine says it's certainly better(stronger) than the 4.6L it replaced in every aspect.
