The hyper Pistons in the LT1 just tend to give up right about there.
It's so common that wiseco has a set of drop on already balanced Pistons out for this engine. Just remove and replace.
So with that said if you are pulling the engine to do the cam with bigger fuel lobe....may as well replace the Pistons it won't be much more labor. And possible save a catastrophic failure.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably be going with either the Whipple, or the triangle speed shop kit (once full details are out), and will be keeping it in the low to mid 600 range for awhile. I'll eventually push for above 700, so I'll plan on replacing the pistons when I do. Are the pistons on wiseco's site?
