I've never heard of that happening from using a windage tray. How could a windage tray, that's mounted to the mains and located in the oil pan, "burn up a camshaft" when the cam gets oiled thru the holes in the cam journals?

Hyper pistons are the way to go.
...not if you're using big doses of nitrous or cramming a ton of boost in the cylinders. Hypereutectic pistons work fine for stock type replacement pistons in the daily commuter. For any serious effort a quality forged piston is the only way to go.
