Absolutely, positively correct. It's usually the pistons that go first.
If you keep the boost reasonable low (under 5 psi) you can probably get away with it on most any motor. However, everyone I know once they taste the power; the first thing they want to do is up the boost. Then what?? Ring lands usually and new pistons immediately after usually followed by a few rods.
