There's a few choices for forged internals that I've seen. I ended up going with @FullBlown's short-block build with CP 9:1 pistons, and some unknown forged rods. It really depends on your goal. If you want those #s on pump gas then you'll probably need to drop the c/r but E85 wouldn't be hard to do on a stock engine.

I just searched the forum for 'forged pistons' and there's a few options people are posting about.

Tomei 80R exhaust $1000
Nameless 3" overpipe and front pipe $500
Crawford oil catch can $300
ACT clutch $600
Hydra standalone EMS $1800 (Ecutek is less at $750)
Hydramist methanol injection system $800
Beatrush front crash bar $300
Labor and tune estimate $2000

Still to go at some later point;

Vented hood $700
Big brakes $2-3000
Full roll cage $2-3000
More suspension goodies $2-3000

This I'm hoping for 300-plus HP on 91 gas.
If you go with E85, or WMI, you should be able to get to 350 or higher without touching the engine block.
Sidenote: Can't wait to meet you and check out your car at one of these NorCal meets!
