Ok, plan on doing a stock bottom end rebuild this summer with a cam and wanna continue to spray a 125 shot on it. This is just a cheap rebuild while I save for the forged 383 with a D1 I wanna get later on down the road. Just wondering if this is a good set of nitrous rings or if someone has some better rings for a stock piston.

i used a set of oem type mahle rings. they will all need to be filed if your looking to hit it with nitrous. actually, for a 125 shot you may not need to file them at all.

Hellfire rings are probably the better rings to buy, no?

Agree with vtec: This is the perfect ring for a stock piston......that's what I think you are doing for your rebuild right, (A stock rebuild and re-using the stock pistons)?

Note that the rings you link to are not the right size for a stock piston.

The Mahle stock OEM replacement ring package (plasma-moly top ring) is part number 2M4626-STD

That is also the Hastings part number which is another good ring set.

The Mahle ring set can take a ton of abuse and at least a 150hp shot of nitrous.

Something that I thought of when ready this thread is about the different alloys of pistons. I personally have the 4032 alloy of SRP pistons which JE says is "specifically engineered for mild nitrous use." However mild nitrous is not defined. So let's say for example we've got rings for a 300 shot. What's the limit on the different alloys?

heard total seal from victory...IMO for a cam only plus n20...well i did a completely stock rebuild with melling pump bearing and rings...well i spun it to 6900 and sprayed 125 on it for a little bit...
