2G pistons on 1G rods will only handle so much power. The rods are good for about 450-500whp, while the pistons are good for at least that. Im not sure if anyone has found the limits of the pistons or not.
Another good reason to get forged pistons is that you can get whatever compression ratio you want. With stock, what you see is what you get.
2G pistons on 1G rods generally isnt all that much cheaper than a cheap set of aftermarket pistons and rods. Its a good combo, and thats why so many people use it, but for a little more money you can have some stuff that you will never have to worry about.
