If you compare one track outing and lets say normal use.. its possible that one track outing is as good as driving on the road for about 1 over year.. because the damage you do the engine is far more stressful .. think about that yourself.. you actually decrease the life span significantly on the track.. more over its not every race that these car's change engines..
Another question if your current pistons are okay.. why would you want to change?

Thanks for your effort to explain, actually i really agree with your ideas and GT autos point of view, but as since the mech who is doing my car advice me that forged pistons are not suitable for long term daily driving, i got confused and seek more knowledge here, i guess comparing the tyre's s the mechs speech of words, i guess what he is trying to say is its not feasible to use a full slick tyres on normal road. moreover i don't see a point for him lie to me since he make money from my mods. That is why im confused now. The reason of intrest for me to change is i would like to increase torque & hp the safe & reliable way. Turbo charging or high cams for my 4G92 is really damaging as it needs constant maintenance and high in fc. So have you personnally used forged pistons Dino?
Howstuffworks "Other Horsepower Increasing Methods"
Make everything lighter - Lightweight parts help the engine perform better. Each time a piston changes direction it uses up energy to stop the travel in one direction and start it in another. The lighter the piston, the less energy it takes. Lighter parts also allow the engine to rev faster, giving it more horsepower
