Forged Internals Questions????? Cobra_killler

Okay, below in my siq is my mods list...

I'm gonna start saving for forged internals. I want to end up making somewhere around 550-600 RWHP.

1.) Will I need new Rods, pistons, crank, etc? Or will I be okay with just new pistons? Steeda is having a sale **see link** will these work for my application?**see link**

2.) Also while the engine is apart I'm gonna have a more aggresive cam put in. I don't know much about cam's but what grind etc should I look for?

3.) Next will I need to replace the stock heads? If so can someone recommend a good set?

4.) Will I need a different block or will the stock one hold up to the amount of HP/TRQ I want to produce?

5.) Is there anything else I will need to consider to make this journey a safe one? ie, subframe connectors, roll cage, suspension...

I know I'm looking for the holy grail here but truthfully I just don't know much about building race cars. :(
My SHM book is on the way so you guys won't have to suffer through these post much longer. Any advice will be grately appreciated. :worship:

You can find pistons cheaper then that..You need rods and a crank.Your block is fine......Stock heads are fine as well to over 600rwhp.......
