What to expect when you forge an engine

[99msxlscr]

Hi, first thing, I´m new and english isn´t my mother lenguage.

Now, I have 99 montero spor, with over 345k miles, now it needs and engine rebuild, and I want to add some hp, so I want to know what to expect when you put forge pistons, cranckshaft, racing head gasket, probably an cold air intake.

unless you change compression ratios or over bore of the cylinders pistons will not get you more hp, neither will a new crank yours my be forged as it is. You can get easy power from head work and or cams. I went to kmperformance for heads and got rpw cams. If you do that you will need new exhauset to get the full benifit. You will also need to get at least a SAFC for timing control or a AEM Fic8 and spend some time on the dyno which = a good chunk of change for a 20yo vehicle. You can search me to see how I spent ~7k on everything as I modded mine.
