Will these TRW's handle 550 RWHP?

Since no one took my question as serious and only picked at the wording of my question in the forced induction i'll give lt1 tech a try. I have a shortblock with L2403N Forged TRW pistons. I guess my main concern is that these pistons don't seem to be blower pistons. I plan on running whatever amount of boost is needed to reach atleast 525 or 550 RWHP. Will they hold up as long as detonation is not at it's greatest? If this is not enough information please tell me what else you need to know....the compression ratio should be around 9.5 to 1. This setup has reworked PM rods with ARP rod bolts (what are the stock rods with ARP bolts usually good to?....i've heard they're a decent bit stronger with ARP bolts but that is hearsay). Thanx to those that reply.

I'm not too familiar with TRW pistons but ID imagine any forged pistion can handle 500RWHP. The rods on the other hand cannot. the PM rods have been run to 500 hp before butive personaly seen them broken by motors with just over 400. I would not risk taking them much over 400. Oh and it wasnt the bolt that broke. so I dont believe that helps a whole lot. I recently picked up some forged eagle I beams for 279$ ....cheap inshurance I'd say.
