Default silver zetec piston or black zetec pistons

basically can the black top zetec pistons handle boosts? I know that the silver top zetec piston has a stronger crown. So can someone tell me if the black zetec pistons can handle a bit of boost.....http://www.zvh-build.co.uk/contact_m...contact_me.htm

If the compression ratio is low enough and it's tuned properly, should be fine.
