Well the lucky ones can handle that power no problem. Its really a luck of the draw thing with the current factory pistons. Some of them can hold up to significant power and others pop at bone stock power levels. If you want to be sure that your motor will handle the power, swapping pistons is a must. If you're feeling lucky and want to take the risk, that's always an option as well.

The build didn't go well at all, was going to cost me too much in the end for what I wanted to do so my car is sold next week

But on the bright side, I'm picking up a JDM swapped 03 with lots of love
