camshafts have nothing to do with how much boost you can take.

pistons will help, i haven't heard of the specific ones you are talking about... but if you are going to go higer than 8 psi, forged rods would be a very good idea, otherwise you'll be in danger of throwing one. always better to spend the 800 now and not potentially put a rod through the block (and potentially the turbo) later on when you get boost happy... unless you can hold yourself to 8 psi, get rods.
