If you do find out that it is because you have bad rings...(doubt it is the pistons) or a spun bearing. I would price a shortblock for cheaper. you could have a nice 408 forged shortblock for the price of a nice supercharger.

I want to stay with the LS series that is why I was thinking about putting a super charger or ever LS 6 heads and intake.. So you think it might be just my rings well i will just buy the whole set so I can start off fresh thanks for the imput.
