Not quite 800 rwhp, but at 146 in the quarter, I'm sure it's comparable.
Program 4-bolt steel caps, ARP main studs, Eagle 4340 crank, Eagle 4340 H-beam 5.7's with ARP2000 rod bolts, Ross custom pistons, plasma moly rings.
After breaking 4 sets of SRP pistons last year, JE left a bad taste in my mouth. The Ross pistons are much healthier in the areas of concern.

Not at 800 yet but planing to be there next year, upgrades this winter is moroso blockfiller and totalseal non gapless rings.

so plasma moly rings should handle it? Also, I was told the JEs are made of a better material than the SRPs.

The 2618 has very little silicon in it and is preferred for a blower application. 4032 and other aluminum-silicon alloys are more brittle, so though they have some advantages (such as lower thermal expansion) for very highly stressed parts the 2618 is preferred.

I called JE and discussed pistons with them. When I said 10-15psi, they immediately steered me away from the SRP (4034 alloy) and highly recommended the JE (2618 alloy). I then asked about the endurance of the 2618 alloy due to rumors pistons made of that material need replaced frequently and he said no, that is not a problem as long as the clearances are set to spec.
SRP's are apparently only safe for 5-8psi (mild boost as stated on the website).
And obviously without a good, safe tune and ample fuel supply, it won't matter what you use for alloy because detonation will own it.
