Default Boost lt1

I bought a forged 383 lt1 with I was told 8k on it. well after shipping the bag it was in had ripped so it got dust all in it. So I take the motor apart and clean everything but during assembly I break one of the rings. I have SRP pistons (p/n 148750) and he said that it had the ring that came with that piston. MY QUESTION IS what rings should I run in this motor for boost?

I would call SRP and get a set for those pistons.

You took a motor completely apart because there was some dust on it?

If you've got the time why not. I'm usually throwing **** together and shopping for car parts at lowes to get to the track the next day.
