Question about pistons

Are the stock pistons from a TPI 305 forged or cast? I need some pistons for my LO3 that'll handle a 100hp nitrous shot... Will I be safe with these?

I believe they are cast.

I think so too... I wonder if they'd be an upgrade over my LO3 pistons?

I would have to say that generally an OEM cast piston is an OEM cast piston.

They are cast, and no, its not an upgrade. If you go that far and plan on nitrous, get some forged pistons.
