do i need to change my pistons for boost?

Hey all
I am supercharging my 360 magnum. It has stock pistons in it. I know when supercharging all the older LA engines they install forged pistons but I know some of the 360 magnums came out supercharged in rams etc. Can I just use my factory pistons?
If not and I have to change them I will also change my cam to a bigger lift so I will need deep dish pistons. Does anyone know where can I purchase deep dish pistons for my 360
Cheers Maca

depends on how much boost you are planning to run 15 lbs or more definately go forged with a mild compression for street

thanks guys
I just emailed them.
I have 9.2/1 comp so I was told I would prob only be able to run 6 to 8 boost. Would it be worth all the expense and effort for that little boost.
