Wiseco forged pistons will take more than 7K but your 40 amp stator wont.
When you say 30+ do you mean they're oversized. Was the motor re-bored. Forged pistons require more piston to cylinder wall clearance than cast pistons due to the different heat expansion characteristics.
I'm not an engine builder or anything I just go looking on the Scream and Fly forum when people ask mercury engine related questions
