are aftermarket forged pistons and rods a good idea?
the sellers of these components think they’re an excellent idea!in reality, the stock supra pistons are as advanced a design as any aftermarket piston, and the rods are already forged.the stock reciprocating assembly “can” hang together just fine up to 8000-8500 rpm (although we’re rev limited to 6900-7200) and can produce insane power levels.however, to be fair to the aftermarket, there are some weight savings and strength increases to be gained with aftermarket rods and pistons, but these become advantageous only when the engine is being prepped as a full race engine.
