I disagree, I've built&machined and have many other friends who have forged piston setups that have been running and competing the past 4-5 years on their SR's with great success against what I've recommended to them. The key consistency was the tuner and never pushing their limits of the head/bottom end. Cams and springs were kept very mild if not stock, none went past 500whp. Many of these cars were and still are street cars.
At the end of the day though.. Stock is king. Rocking a .0015" clearance vs .0035+ will be better on skirt wear all day. You speak a lot of truth.
Ace, if you get it built find a good machinist who has dealt with these motors before and knows to go through and atleast check through everything. If that's not in the realm of possibilities than a stock, unopened motor is the route for you.
