Forged question
Im getting my 99 lump forged for 400 hp but looking at the Andyforrest web site there is not mention of forged internal at this level of tune im aware there is concern running these engines (mines a type R) at this level but are these people running 400 without forged internals ??

sti lumps have semi forged internals and with the correct mods i believe its possible to run this power.
non forged engines will be a timebomb at that sorta level

Are you building 3 cars . I was at Andy f today, done a superb job fitting +mapping simtek.
I think 400bhp is ok on your eng. Depends how you drive it..

Standard rods are the weakness on classic engines. I certainly wouldn't be pushing them more than 350bhp.
Swap the rods and the Classic STI engine is good for 500bhp no problem with other supporting mods. Only the STI though as the rest have crappy cast pistons.

If your doing the rods and pistons then you may as well upgrade your crank to the twin scroll unit which gives better oil feed to the bearings, but I'm with daz on this, 350bhp is the max you really want to push your engine with the standard rods if you want reliability.
