Default Good Forged Internals for FI?

I am looking to be "more safe" while pushing out 800 or so hp to the rear wheels. I am wanting the change the rods, pistons, and crank but I just don't know which company makes the best for what my goal is. I am also wanting the throw a mag tvs2300 on there as well. Thanks in advance

Best bet would be to call Texas Speed or maybe Katech and ask them what the minimum you need to get by would be. It's easy to just say Callies Dragonslayer crank and rods, but that stuff's EXPENSIVE. Calling the pros for this would probably save you a couple grand.
