I'm sure they are fine for a "stock replacement", but they won't provide the level of strength you would find in a set of forged (as opposed to cast) pistons.

I would treat them like stock pistons, which, depending on the tune can fail below 300hp. Enough detonation/knock will be a quick end to stock/OEM pistons.
