Default forged pistons worth it?

with an otherwise stock bottom end would forged pistons be worth it? the motor will be sprayed but the guy isn't planning on goin crazy (150 shot with a fuel pump). would it be worth it to throw forged pistons in there or just go with another set of stock ones?

it never hurts to go with forged pistons, especially if he is spraying it can only help him, I would get soem that also raised compression.

Yes,forged pistons would be worth adding on a sprayed motor,coating the top of the pistons would be a good idea and I would go stronger rod bolts too.

Ditto on the rod bolts. Even though that cat is probably going with "just" a 150 shot, with forged pistons and good rod bolts, he could always up the dosage a little when he gets greedy.
