Default are wiseco rings recommended

hello, i am building a lq4 block stroker motor for force induction with wiseco pistons #40073-07and was curious if the rings that they come with are good to use. I plan on running around 20psi of boost. Any advise is appreciated thanks

Don't know what piston that number is for? The Wiseco GFX rings are excellent for boost

i also called wiseco and they do come with the gfx rings. The machine shop recommended me to use total seal rings instead of what the pistons were coming with. I dont mind spending the money if they are a must but i didnt know.

You don't need to change your rings at all. You could possibly get a higher tension oil rail and expander frm Total seal though but what you have should still be fine though. The GFX top is an awesome power adder ring as well.
