yeah i remember having a long in-depth discussion with stew about different piston strengths and why forged pistons are used.
This is a rough *from memory*....
... a cast piston is generally better in most properties, but they are brittle and inflexible or something, meaning that they can't handle detonation conditions etc and survive - whereas a forged piston can.
Forged pistons have worse qualities as far as expansion and heat effects are concerned, but they will survive detonation and other undesirable (un-intended) conditions when a cast piston would not.
Of course i could be waaaay off the mark. Here is a thread with a good discussion of the whole thing. Be warned, there is a lot of other bullshit going on there too
