Default supercharger

Anyone know how one can tell if his/her engine has forged rods/pistons/crankshaft besides someone telling you? I want to supercharge my mustang and want to be sure the appropriate parts are forged. Thanks!

don't think any stock Stangs came from the factory with a forged crank or rods recently unless maybe the Cobra R models.
if you really want forged, you're going to have to change them out to get them I believe.
