You probably don't NEED forged rods/pistons for that level, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
The forged rods/pistons will give you some room to grow, too.

im doing a 5.3 with a cast 7875 on e85 with 1500cc injectors. now i didnt gap the rings because i heard if you run e its less chances but then again it also depends on your tuner! but if your have the engine out might as well. my next junkyard engine i will be gapping the ring for added insurance. now again, if you gap too big you will blow white smoke

Youd have to do retarded big gaps to get what I would call excessive blow by. Like 26-28 thou and send it.
