Do forged pistons give you any more power over standard pistons or are they just stronger?

What is differences?

the main advantage is weight/strength ratio...

they are lighter, so you can rev it more, witout the rods having a fit!

Also standard LET pistons are forged

As are early Xe pistons - although the LET ones will be low comp, so no good for n/a

the early Mahle XE pistons that are forged should have 86P on them
