The fact that reduce weight, and improve strength, durability and ring sealing will help any build with better quality pistons. There’s nothing wrong with someone adding quality pistons to NA build to make it bullet proof and down the road to add a power additive. It’s a costly move but if anyone has the money to do that then I say go for it.
But what about all the extra costs and balancing? I can't remember now but I thought the GEN V stuff is also fracture split rod ends so even more machining, or maybe I am thinking of something different. I thought I remember seeing rod bolts in question, but then you hear about all these supposedly extreme RPM stock bottom end stuff.
