if you add forged innards to your engine, they don't really do anything unless you bump compression ratios around. A lower CR will yield less power, and a higher CR will yield more power. If you add forged pistons and rods to an engine, you're either going to be adding a turbo to the car, or you'll be running a very high CR (11:1 or 12:1). Forged components are just there to help hold power as opposed to help make it.
