Question Which forged pistons and rods?

Ok, got an '01 Cobra intake about a month ago and I should have my '04 Aviator heads by the end of this month. And now I'm starting to think that since my 4.6 will be going though all this work I might as well as redo the rotating assembly while I'm at it.

This engine will be seeing some twinscrew boost eventually, and I'm looking to keep near the stock compression ratio. Yes, I already hear you all telling me I should lower the CR by at least 1, but I really don't see the need when kits from the likes of Kenne Bell are already going on stock CR '99-'01 Cobra's and even Mach 1's. Albeit at lower boost.

What brands of rods and pistons should I be looking at as far as the best quality. Should I stick with the same brand for both because I was thinking Manley rods and Diamond pistons. If there are others/"better" ones I should be looking at feel free to give me your input, advice, and/or personal experiences.

Thanks in advance.

The KB will provide plenty of power and torque as it is. There's really no reason to intentionally push CR. Youd be better off going with a bigger bore w/ the same CR.
