I think I'd rather look for a higher volume oil pump.

The rod squirters hit the thrust side of the bore for a reason. It seems to me that since the bore gets wiped pretty cleam by the scraper rings, it's chancy to depend on splash lubing there, which is probably the highest wear point of the bore and skirt.

If you can keep the squirters, I think I would, even with forged pistons. Tougher is not invulnerable, and it doesn't take much hot spot detonation to ruin your day and your pistons and ring lands and rods. The only path for the heat to leave the piston crown is thru the rings, unless you squirt the bottoms with oil and accept/handle the oil heating.
