Well, you would acually be boring your engine .030" over. You only gain about 5 CI, which isnt much at all. Adding forged internals doesent necissarily affect the performance of an engine, but the reliability and strength of it. It also depends on how the new pistons will affect your compression ratio, which also affects power.
