First off, YES the pistons and rods are forged. Where are you finding the information that they are not?
Second, Hahahaha, don't expect most people here to understand the which of the 16gs is better... tons of DSM guys are even in denial about it...
3rd, good picture, but crankwalk isn't as common a problem as most think. There is a preventitive fix for it, which requires a tear down and rebuild, but the part only costs like 50 bucks... and very VERY VERY rarely does crankwalk ever happen to people unless they put a higher rating pressure plate in them.
And finally, I would buy that talon in a @!#$ heartbeat if I had 3k right now... hes only like a 6 hour drive from me too =(

I have seen multiple posts in the Tuners forums saying the pistons and rods are cast, and no matter how hard I try, I can't find anything saying they are forged. If you can prove otherwise, please link me, because I'd like to believe they were forged too
Here's the only one I could pull up in a quick search:
