you should run a b20 ecu or an ls ecu imo

Better yet you should get a ECU chipped and tuned for your engine. If you want a bit more power out of her this is the best way to do it.
Running it on a p72 wont do well for reliability in the long run.

yeah ive heard the p72 isnt that good of a ecu for the b20b.

thats a GSR ecu. you need a P75 to run properly STOCK. if you go the chipped and tuned route, you'll be fine. and, runnin with that ecu, doesn't it have your rev limiter in the 8k region?... dont think the b20 would like that too much.
gettin on it and missin a shift could equal bad things without that limiter to catch it. a stock B20 shouldn't go past about 6800

Forged pistons dont raise your rev limit. Valvetrain and rods will allow you to rev higher.
Get a p75 for your motor and then chip and tune it.

i know i meant that the pistons are safe with reving it that high just not the rest of the internals
