Max CR on forged pistons? As the title says.
I am getting an APS TT in a few weeks and was wondering how much of an advantage there would be to running forged parts w/stock compression over the stock pistons. I am not looking for max output. Want it to drive like stock w/as close to stockish mpg as possible and I want to be able to run 7-10lbs. of boost safely w/out meth. Or is it not the piston/rods at all that is the limiting factor?

7-10 won't be a huge problem at all, main thing is the tune being dead on to keep detonation out of the picture. However, if you ever plan on getting aggressive with it, do the forged guts. The stock pistons won't want much more than what you are planning for now.
