what power can you get from these engines before forging? cheers

assuming all is straight and in good order
standard rods = 600hp+
Crank = unless going mental like over 700hp, standard is fine
standard mahle's are forged cast = 550hp
The internals and the fact you have a 200 block is good for silly power
assuming standard head and cams, your t3 can do circa 300hp, my old t3 used to peak at 25psi (if i remember correctly) and hold 20'ish
what injectors are you running?
if the car is new to you, i highly recommend getting it set up correctly.
