And pistons can make more power especially if comp ratios change.
You'll also get fuck all power without the strength to cope with it. So a fair bit more difference than 2/5ths of fuck all I'd say.

There's been enough bagging on this thread without adding BS statements like that.
oh please get off the high horse, replacing the pistons is fuck all, highly doubt the comp ratio is being changed and rods (currently optional) unless he is changing the stroke ad strength.

I hate to tell you Daz but you aren't actually the be all and end all of subaru modification - what you are doing IS impressive and is very well thought out but call a spade a spade - forged pistons do not = and "built" motor.

So my comment stands the minor work noted for the engine "build" will most likely equate to 2/5ths of fuck all in end result for actual performance gains
