Keep in mind that forged pistons expand more than Hyper pistons. I think that's why Ford went with them in the later years of the Fox body and SN95, and they are lighter by a few grams. That means Hyper pistons don't have to be warmed up as much, and if you don't plan to go forced induction or sprayed, you really don't need forged pistons. Shoot, you even see quite a few stroker kits out there with Hyper pistons. But, like they say, forged are stronger, and will last longer in the LONG run. I have a set of ported stock heads, with oversized valves, cam, headers/exhaust, and intake, and my stock Hyper pistons do just fine. In fact, I could still see the mill work in the cylinders, and there was no ring hump on my cylinders. And I did my heads at 110k miles. I would say that if you have good oil pressure and compression, go ahead and stick with Hyper pistons.
