Curious to know because I soon will be trying for around 500whp with a SC kit, and I may have a little bit of a budget left to add forged pistons and rods.



But I had normally left them out because I was told by several people including a FI rep that it isnt required for me as I am not going over 600whp.



But reading these peoples stories of blown motors is starting to worry me a lil.

Unless you are going A2A, then no they won't help. The problem with the Stillen kit is the ECU has no clue what IATs are so it doesn't know how to compensate. Having forged pistons won't help a bad design.
