Hellfire rings are a great ring, but they are moreso a drag engine ring...they are not as forgiving for street/strip cars as the Total Seal CP AP Rings package or Wiseco GFX. The hellfire rings will wear out the cylinder quicker.

Agreed. Total Seal are probably the best you can run for nitrous/boost.

Ray Ackerly has so many different setups to choose from. Usually with your setup (200+ nitrous) you would look at a steel top and I would recommend the HTD second and a std tension oil ring.
