I have the Edelbrock 2.02 valve heads and they would not work with my stock pistons and a mere .512 lift cam. Cast pistons on your stock shortblock are somewhat of a concern with boost since they have zero tolerance for detonation.

Now I have STOCK type (read: TRW replacement), forged pistons in the block..and no problems at all with 2.02's and a TFS stage 1 cam. Do your homework first, and a good combo will result. Granted, with 1.7's it would be closer, but that's why you DEGREE a cam when you install it, not just align the dots and hope for the best. As for the pistons, they are NOT cast..they are hypu's and are MORE than capable of withstanding boost. It's all in the tune.
