The forged pistons are stronger, less likely to fail, and you're only talking about a couple hundred bucks. I think you know the answer already.

yep. I can have them any way I want too, there made to order. If I cannot get a rebuilt larger chamber head so far ( 2 rebuild companys, the 1 that Advance auto deals with and Marshall engines, both have no cores of the better EO casting head, I'll keep going back thru the years but I don't have my hopes up), I'll get the pistions with a 10cc dish, the better heads have 10cc more in combustion chamber volume, I'd just need to make that up.
