Confused, is this true?

I was hanging out with a couple of chev's yesterday and was talking about my 5.0. Their cool guys so i dont think they would steer me in the wrong direction. I had them do work on my 97 t/a .. They do good work, the one guy is into fox's so i told him i have a 91 that im going to supercharge. So he went on and told me pretty much everything i already knew. but he stunned me on one thing, about a year ago i spun a the bearing on the origional 5.0 so i pulled a motor out of a 95. It slipped my mind but the 95's dont come with forged pistons. He went on and told me without the proper tuning and air to fuel ratio i run the risk of burning a piston since they are not forged. It all made sence at the time. But if your running low boost should it be a problem? I havent upgraded the fuel system yet but im going to run a 255 fp and anything above 35 lbs injector.

I dont know

Help please

Well, if you install superchaeger on any Mustang you run the risk of breakage if you don't get a tune. It can happened on a Forged piston car as well.

Basically, if you are considering a blower, you should factor in a tune into your budget automatically

From what I understand, it's ALL in the tune

It's not high boost that spells the end for the hypereutectic pistons, its the detonation that can come with lack of a proper tune which is exacerbated by the extra chamber pressure.

With the right tune, you can run decent boost and make decent power...safely.

A bad tune will kill any motor. With the forged pistons you have a little more room for error. The hyper pistons are fine as long as you don't run it on the ragged edge and have issues with detonation. As others have said its all in the tune.

+1 with the above. I have seen guys that install TT (one was a new GTO) and take it to the tuner but decide to get on it while going there and destroy the entire motor.

so if i dont get on it will i be okay. i need to take it to the tuners their 45 minutes away from my house.

yes listen to these guys. Get a proper tune and save yourself a #$@! load of cash later!
