Default What piston rings to use

Im rebuilding my motor and I was just wondering what everyone used or thought the best piston ring was out there. Any input would be appreciated.

TSP sent me Total Seal rings for my forged motor I'm building for nitrous. They come diamond finished, top rings are steel and the secondary rings are iron. So when or if you have to file fit your rings be sure to remember that iron is SOFTER than steel even though they look the same

We use total seal in our engines with very good results. Give us a call & tell us about your application & I bet we have something that will work for you in stock!!

We use Clevite unless the customer is running a heavy n2o shot. Then it's hellfire rings
