Default Looking to re-ring my lq4 for boost. Suggestions?

Plan on running 93 octane + meth. Shooting for 650-700rwhp with a turbonetics T7875. Budget build.

The cylinders will be honed and I do have the later free floating pistons with the ls2 rods looking to see which company I should choose for this project.

Looking between these companies.
SEALED POWER E921K
Or
MAHLE / CLEVITE 41858CP

Also if you have any other suggestions I'd definitely like to hear it.

Also read the ring gap should be opened up some. I've read it should be near .028-.030. Does that sound good for my application?

Stock rings work pretty good for me.

Ring gap looks decent too.

Do you have a part number for them off hand? Can't seem to find it. I have a 1.5mm top ring. Everything I see is for a set of rings for one piston. And at 33 bucks a pop it's going to be a lot more expensive then the 2 options above.

I've used the E921K in a 700rwhp build, had no issues even with a dingle ball hone job
