To Forge or Not to forge

[pagii]

starting a build and still deciding if upgrading rods/pistons to more expensive forge pieces really worth it? was looking at Probe pistons or Weisco pistons with Eagle Rods still debating since im looking for 400-500...i was told my 7mgte had only 60,000 miles but still have to pull it apart and inspect inside any suggestions?

Stock rods rods, with ARP bolts are good to 600 HP.
Go with the Wiseco, much better quality than the butt tools (probes)

Stock everything should be fine for 500+HP If tuned right
