If the customer modifies the engine to increase the output by any significant amount (more than just say headers, i.e. supercharger, turbo, NOS), a quality forged piston would be a good idea.

They did not use the word "should". They used the word "may". There is a big difference. I think that someone needs to answer the question regarding whether there is a warranty that comes with the headers and, if so, what does it cover.
The stock SRT8 environment is either 420 HP or 425 HP depending on the SRT8 model. Thus, it is one thing to mod a 420/425 HP engine with the SRT8 pistons. It is an entirely different matter to mod the stock 600 HP engine with the same SRT8 pistons. As the engineers carefully stated, the '08 engine is HIGHLY STRESSED. Short of hitting us over the head, they could not have been more clear.
