do i need a forged bottom end for a long lasting boost application?

 

forged pistons are a good idea, but the rest i wouldn't worry about to much. No point in a stock block.

As far as boost goes....save the money from not having to buy rods/crank and spend it on having your car tuned at a good shop. Thats going to make your engine last longer on boost than anything.

 

i would run forged pistons for sure. as far as the crank and rods go, if your running the stock block, dont bother. the limit of the stock block is lower then the limit of the stock rods and crank

 

the rods go first.. if you don't plan on running more than 400RWHP, you don't have to do anything to the bottom end.
