Default "Safe" BHP on the stock pistons

Hello,
I´m bit curious what is the "safe" power figure that I can run on the stock pistons without melting or damaging them on 16V VTS?My point if it´s possible run remaped catcams 708 with DP engineering inlet manifold,4-2-1 exhaust manifold,SS centre pipe on the stock pistons without harming the engine(pistons).I´m expecting something round 170 bhp on the flywheel

thanks for answer

Its more about the map and not running too lean or rich on stock pistons on a N/A set-up. Forged ones are only used on an N/A when raising compression or using wild cams that require pocketed pistons or a high rev limit.
