Default piston ring

Well I need some advice on what piston rings to go with. im building a forged 347 with stock crank. I think it will be high comprssion and maybe some nitrous. I have heard that the hellfire rings
hold up to nitrious really well but are they good for say a daily drive situation?

Default rings

If you are not spraying over 250HP N20 there is no need for a Hellfire ring. A set of Plasma Moly rings will work just as well, probably better in a DD.

I agree with helicoil.I went with Mahle rings,Diamond pistons,and Manley rods.I built mine to take a conservative 200.
