Default has anyone had problems w/ CTR pistons in a gsr motor???

There are a lot of threads on H-T about CTR's or no CTR's! And everyone that i talk to loves the CTR's in their gsr but has anyone had problems with it? My motor has 170,000 miles on it and im getting it taken off of the car and putting new bearings, new seals and gaskets, skunk 2 intake manilfold and hondata S200! do you think w/ 170k my motor would be ok with great tuning and a good engine rebuild? thanks

Cant really say... did the pistons when I built the motor.(also added cams, etc.)
Im runnin a thicker cometic gasket, like 16 deg timing which will change this year, hopin to run like 19 or so. 16 deg is on 93 pump gas.

You shouldnt have anything to worry about as long as you have 255lph and 290/310cc injectors. And of course -- Tuning!
