I kinda thought the H series were the way to go dont see allot of options on rings though are plasma molys decent in the ls's i know in the day they were the way to go on SBC's?
450-500whp, you'd probably be fine with stock bearings. My bearings of choice are ACL for the rods and mains, and Durabond for the cam. My experience with Clevites was the thrust always being tighter than the other four main bearings. It may be intentionally designed that way.
As for rings, I've used Hastings for my 6.2L and they were nice for the money. They had a moly filled ductile top ring with a Napier second. The rings I just bought for my 4.8L, however do not have a Napier second ring.
