A majority of OEM pistons are cast MAHLE manufacured assemblies and fine to use for most street applications.
Forgings are a more dense material and will require a greater piston to cylinder wall clearance. This will typically require a "warm up" period to take place before use and, many of the offerings could create piston to wall "slap" before the piston come to full temperature.
A majority of our daily driven customer have found forged pistons to be a problem (esp. in the NE) since the pistons need to be at temperature before encountering full load.
Castings are more prone to problems if detonation is not eliminated but we have some OEM piston users towards 500hp.
