I bought a forged 383 lt1 with I was told 8k on it. well after shipping the bag it was in had ripped so it got dust all in it. So I take the motor apart and clean everything but during assembly I break one of the rings. I have SRP pistons (p/n 148750) and he said that it had the ring that came with that piston. MY QUESTION IS what rings should I run in this motor for boost?

 

I would call SRP and get a set for those pistons.

 

You took a motor completely apart because there was some dust on it?

 

yep dirt and dust was all in it so I had to take it apart to clean it right. I dont know about you but im like a brain surgeon when I build my motor.

 

If you've got the time why not. I'm usually throwing **** together and shopping for car parts at lowes to get to the track the next day.

 

Haha. you broke a ring.

 

anyone know how much boost i can put on a stock bottom end of a lt1
