If you are still NPI, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

This is probably a newbie question, but doesn't getting forged internals also increase your torque and horsepower numbers by themselves?
no, getting forgedrods and pistons makes them stronger, but in no way affects compression or output of power or torque... they can just tolerate more pressure and power than our stock
"bubblegum" rods

Only HP gain you may see is the few from the pistions being a slightly smaller diameter if your getting pistons for a S/c application.
