tsp 347!
well i have a 99 z28 m6. the piston rings are bad and i dont plan on fixing it stock! i want to get the tsp 347 rotating assemblies kit. my plans for the car is too spray (150 shot) and i think im going to get ms3 cam. i was wondering what pistons and piston rings would be good for nitrous from this kit?

diamond pistons and total seal rings or call them up and see if they have some hellfire rings. for a 150 you should be fine with the total seal.
steel top is what you are looking for as in the top ring.

Hone the cylinders for the new pistons, clean and deck the block, and turn the crank. I vote Wiseco pistons.. That's what I ran in my setup and most people on here will recommend them. Diamonds are alright too though. Top seal rings for nitrous. As far as rods, I went with Eagles w/ ARP 2000s. All depends on what your budget is. Oliver's are your best bet if you can afford to drop a grand on rods, lol.

Definitely consider the Diamond or Wiseco pistons. They utilize the 2618 forging needed for that kind of nitrous use! I'd also go with the steel top ring set. It will help dissipate the heat better than a standard plasma-moly ring set! The ARP2000 rod bolts should take care of this one, as we've pushed them beyond 100rwhp on numerous builds without issues.

So it's probably about the same either way other than the freight shipping. I would probably go with the TSP short block if I did it again just because everything is new and it saves the a lot of trouble.
