Looking for rings for stock LS3 pistons. Who has them for a reasonable price? I was quoted like $264 for GM rings. Not gonna happen.

GM parts direct has OEM rings around $25/ea (slightly less)

Otherwise I think Hastings makes some replacement rings for less.

I used the Hastings rings in my build. They're a really good deal for $150.

I was looking at the Hastings. You say they are pretty good?

Yeah I like them. They have the plasma filled moly top ring and a Napier second ring, which is pretty decent technology for an OEM replacement ring set. If you need something better than these rings, you'll probably need forged pistons anyways.

My engine seals up great, no smoke or anything, and considering the clutch slips it makes good power.
