I agree. Hypers from what I have read are actually stronger than forged. But that makes them more brittle. Forged pistons are tougher and can take the pounding better from what I understand. I am by no means a metallurgist.

If you keep things in proper tune, I'd run a 100 hp shot on them without worrying.
