Cast pistons VS. Cast Pistons LOL!!

[biljoh@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

   If the stock pistons lasted 35 years why wouldnt an equal or slightly better set last just as long? The stock pistons are cast aluminum, the badgers are cast aluminum with the addition of the reinforced skirts. I used to rev with the stock OE pistons to 55-5800 RPM from 1st to second pretty much on a daily basis from rest. I still havent heard why the cast pistons that I have that are going to replace the cast pistons that I "had" are only going to last a year under the same conditions? Forged pistons would be nice, but do you REALLY think I should get them?  I wont be revving past 5800 RPM and won't be using nitrous. What about the people that use badgers and don't have problems with high performance durability?  I think if I had a 4 speed, 4.10 gears and was going to spin the motor to 6500-7000 RPM than forged pistons would be better.
