Are BAM Engines forged?

I am seriously considering it as I have reasonably high torque, but the car can take more. Rods can’t.
I may do it just to insure I don’t Bend a rod. Even if I don’t go for more power. Apparently mine is close to the edge of being in the danger zone,so to speak.

Custom Map 282 Bhp and 287 lbs of torque.
My car is tuned at Badger5.
His rolling road reads very low for torque. Which I’m not bothered about. It’s just numbers on a sheet at the end of the day.
If I were to put my car on some other firms rollers I’d be pulling close to 300 lbs.
I had my downpipe changed recently along with a Decat section which was married up to a custom exhaust I had done a while back.
Went back to Badger to custom Stage 2.
When we ran it on the rollers at B5 it had improved my current set up by 13 horses and 20lbs of Torque.
We were all blown away. But Bill was not happy to give the car any more power after seeing the figures above as its rod bending territory.
So I’ve stopped hunting horses for now.
Haha watch this space.
With regards to mapping
My car is very healthy and has a brand new turbo with about 4000 miles on it.
Bill said it’s a good one and could be wound right up.
“As long as I do the rods first. “
Higher mileage and lots of lead footed owners can have an effect on the figures you may achieve.
