Wiseco GFX rings good?
Who here is using Wiseco's new GFX ring set? Just wanted to hear some feedback in big power boosted set ups. The rings are included with their pistons and was curious to see if its worth switching to a set of AP Total Seal rings or stick with them? Combo will be a 403ci with about 17-18 psi and will be street car that see's the track 1-2 a year.

From the Wiseco website:
Ring packages almost always consist of 3 rings these days. If ring life is not a concern, the .043-.043-3mm is common. For people looking for better performance with longer life, run the Wiseco GFX Ring package. The GFX rings have a stainless steel Gas nitrided top ring with a Napier hook second ring and nitrided oil ring rails. The GFX rings are a .047-.047-3mm size. The most common long life ring package for 4-inch and over bore is a 1/16, 1/16, 3/16. Dikes rings are currently only popular in blown alcohol or Top Fuel applications. Gas ports should be added when using the extra-thin ring packages. Important note: It is the customer's responsibility, when using a .043 ring-pack, to specify when a back-cut (Pro) ring is used versus a standard (D-wall) ring.
Would love to hear from Erik or Brian Nutter
