If its a newer N/A motor then the upper rings will probably be relatively high on the piston for emission purposes. You boost it, the first thing that will break is the upper ring land… then you toss a rod and all the work is in the toilet.

I agree with this statement. Kiss the ringlands good bye. While piston squirters will help quench some of the build up heat in the head of the piston it will not make or break the part when doubling the HP. A good forged piston designed for the application should be used.
