I don't think the only failure mode is detonation, I think the stock pistons can only take so much heat. Sustained heat from road racing will also crack the ring lands.

I deffinetly wasnt saying they wouldnt fail under stress alone, just stating that most people would be suprised at how much power they would hold without detonation.
