bored block

Thanks for the responses guys. I am shooting for a reliable 350-400 whp car and based on the reading i've been doing, some new oem pistons and rods should be fine for this set up. If i had money in da bank, yea i would definately go for the forged set, but spending a grand on internals isn't in my budget right now unless i can find a good deal.

...so are the original/stock gte pistons forged or cast?

Yeah, for 350 to 400 the stockers are fine... I'd have them peened for the added peace of mind.

The stock pistons are cast and uncoated. I wouldn't worry about having anything done on them though unless you're just doing it for the added security. As long as the car is well tuned, the pistons will be one of the last of your worries at that power level.
