I dont really want to lower the compression, especially if i never go FI, but theoreticlly i wonder much much i have to looser by slightly lowering compression and going with their forged pistons. I hate emiling them so much, is there a mathmatical calcuation or are their too manyother variables?

All the research I've done indicates that if you plan to do forced induction, you are best off with the forged pistons. Its not only for the strength, but the lower CR. I guess you just have to ask yourself at some point whether or not you are really going to go with forced induction.
