Any new F.I. piston rings out yet? 1/16,1/16,3/16? I have a 3.905 bore and am finding out there are not alot of piston rings on the market. Any new ones out for 1000hp or 20 psi boost? Not a daily driver, Will only see about 3-4k per year. Should I just nuy the standard moly's? Anyone know? What would you do?

Well, I called Total seal. They have nothing but the "classic" ductile moly rings. Also called Federal mogul about hellfires. They said they make nothing but a standard ductile moly ring. They both said the demand just isn't there! Oh well, looks like I am stuck with the standard "classic" ductile moly. They did say that as long as I don't detonate I will be fine. Just letting you know what my research has found.

Yeah, ain't that the truth. But just think about if it was an N2O motor @ those power levels?? Ewwwwwwwwwww. And that's good to hear because I don't plan on doing anything less that a 4.00 bore when I get a motor built up.
