Default Recommendation On Piston Rings

I had to pull mine back down, it hurt two pistons on the chassis dyno due to bad gas. That is bad news, the good news is it ran 11.20@120 and made 463 rwhp with two hurt pistons

I have Hellfire rings in it now and plan on spraying a 200/250 shot later on.

But have been told the Hellfire is hard on cylinder walls for a street driven car.

Any suggestions on a ring for this car?

Well, I kinda knew that......Total seal probably makes 50 different "kinds" of rings. A gapless top, gapless second or conventional rings All kinds.

Call Total Seal, ask for Keith Jones. He'll ask you a dozen questions about your set-up, your goals, and how you use the car. Then, he'll set you up with the right stuff. I had not used their stuff until about the past three years. Total Seal has their stuff together!

Gapless, maybe something like File-fit rings?
