It’s important to mix at gas stations that guarantee e70 minimum. Some around me guarantee e70, and others a minimum of e51.

I own a Supra and Marco made 1500 hp with his engine on stock GTE rods almost 20 years ago. GTE rods and GE rods are not the same. Calling the stock rods a problem at 3x design power is silly, and no one is building an IS F or RC F engine to 1500 hp. But regardless, adding weigh to the reciprocating parts is always a bad thing. You do it very reluctantly. I have a really well done piston kinematics spreadsheet and small differences in weight make big differences in force.
When I built motorcycle engines, we removed as much material as we could from the pistons consistent with delivering the service life the customer wanted. Down to the gram. It really matters.

Ringland failure has been shown to be caused by excessive heat. Tracking the car even without a supercharger with inadequate oil cooling can cause ringland failure. It has also been though that the leaking valley plate can help cause this failure if its leaking for a while.
I daily my supercharged ISF and have zero concern about the engine or possible failure. The boost only turns on when you want it to. I would say 85% of the time the car never sees boost while driving, the only time it gets into boost is on a on ramp or when I feel like doing a pull.
Like any other machine, its only as reliable as the user. If you are constantly beating on the car then of course it's going to break or have a failure. If you don't know what you are looking for under load such as AF percentages then yes you could have a issue and not know it until its too late.
I have had the street kit (My car was used for development) and was pretty happy with it until I got sick of mixing fuel. Now I have upgraded to the full kit and use strictly 93
Either way RR-Racing has this kit down and tuned to perfection. The car honestly runs as it did when I first bought it (Bone Stock) and I'm happy with it.
I know people will ask what my times are or what cars I have raced, I supercharged it for my own reasons not for times or racing. I ran the strip a total of 2 times in the cars life and got a time of 11.4 on pretty worn street tires. Other than those 2 times the car is babied and doesn't see abuse nor has it by the previous owner. A compression check was done at the time of install and Rafi told me its one of the best he has seen. If that's not proof as to the car is only as good as its treated I don't know what is.
Long story short, daily a charged ISF? Hell yeah!
If you have questions let me know ill try and help.
