I don't run high rpm, the max I see out through the lights is 3600rpm, so I don't know if this applies...
I have Swain coated pistons, using their gold coat on top and the pc9 on the skirts. The current engine has about 20,000 miles and 300 1/4 mile passes in the low 11's, high 10's. It last dyno'd at 944hp. No sign of any problems at this point. When we do a tear down, we'll see how things held up.
The previous engine I also had the same coatings, and had about 100 1/4 passes on it, when I cracked a cylinder. The coatings held up find, and I'll be using the pistons in the next engine.
Without the skirt coatings I was getting piston scuffing if I went tighter then about .008 on the piston to cylinder wall clearance. In the engine that I cracked the cylinder I had set it to .007, and there wasn't any sign of scuffing. The engine that is in it now it's set to .0055. We'll see how that works out.
Not all coatings are created equal, so becareful.
I'm not sure how this applies to what you are doing, but I hope the info helps.
