experienced engine builder help

i was old that the standard pin that comes with my arias pistons will not be able to handle more than 25psi....so he recomended the upgraded versions they sell....about 64 bucks for 4....jw if this guy is trying to make a sell or if this is true, would like to get feedback from anyone running these pistons...also want to know what kind of ring gap i should run with my goals being 25-35 psi? i dont mind a lil bit of blow by, and the slap wont bother me,,,,but just want to know what kind of clearance i should run, these are steel rings and arias recomends a top ring clearance of .024 and the secound ring .019....but .20 is acceptable.....i appologize for the ignorance but i guess the oil rins dont get gapped? idk

Imo, send an email to arias and pick their brain. When I bought my wiseco pistons i emailed wiseco telling them my hp goals and how much pressure i was going to run and they told me what my clearances should be.
