If you use Keith Black pistons make sure to keep the ring gaps on the higher side as I've heard of several issue of Keith Black pistons being damaged due to tight ring gaps.

Excessive spark advance, lean fuel mixture or too much compression for the fuel and cam used will make heat sufficient to butt piston rings with as much as .060" ring end gap.
