It also depends on your car weight and launch rpm, e.g. heavy car vs. not so heavy car. Also, upon make of engine. From a big-block Mopar man's perspective, I'd choose a forged unit over a cast unit in a 4-speed application; especially if you're going to hit 6500 rpm and beyond.

Ask yourself this: will any immediate performance gain be worth any reliablity problem$ in the long run? Then make your choice.
