Default Which piston rings?

A lot of guys are saying that there is blow by from the rings. So which rings to go with? Is GM the only way to go?

I'm in the process of rebuilding my stock shorblock (stock pistons) with Diamond Pro-select File fit rings

Thanks!

I have the Lunati stroker. What should I use with the Lunati?

What about the new GM rings?

Thanks again!

I personally wouldn't run GM rings...but thats just me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

There are plenty of good aftermarket ring options for the 3.905 bore (what you probably have with your stroker)...I knos thunder sells diamond rings and probably som others <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
