What rings?

What rings would be the best for this application.
Forged Ls1, about 9:1, about 14psi from a turbo. Mostly street use, periodic track use. It will be in a 1/2 ton G.M. truck.
May even see a long trip every once in a while. Would love some longevity.
Any thoughts?

Not sure of the rings that come with dimond, but speed pro hell fire rings are probably one of the best rings avalable.

Hi Billy, it's Eric. (The guy with the burned up cast pistons) I talked with the guys at ls1speed (a sponser), and I just bought some Diamond turbo pistons and matching rings from them. They told me they use this combination in all of their forced-induction engines. (Turbo & SC)
