I agree with you on pretty much everything you are sayin', but a cast piston will not stay in there near as long as a forged... ive got pistons(forged TRWs) in both my race cars from 1983 and 1985... very reliable pistons... i wouldnt even think to run a cast piston as hard as i do the forged ones... the rods dont bother me near as much as the pistons do.... i just hate to see him spend 2k on a set of alum heads, then, decide to run it up to 5600-5800 to get it to run, and have a piston failure and tear up the heads... it just seems that you'd want to invest in the rotating parts first if you are plannin on runnin it very hard on a regular basis... I just makin recommedations based on my experience... none of this stuff is cheap... you just got to decide what scares you and what doesnt... i wouldnt think that the cast pistons would hold up under the kind of horsepower that the alum heads have the potential to make... again, im not arguing, just stating my opinion
