The AP stuff from total seal is top notch, the tolerances are extrememly fine. I don't personally see the need for it on a street/strip motor, nor do I see the need for a hellfire, tnt, or whatever hardened type ring either. If you want gapless do it on the top ring only, I'd suggest a napier 2nd for any package you go with. The moly coating on a ring can come off if you miss the nitrous tune and detonate.

I love my canton pan. It keeps the bottom of my car coated with a light coat of oil and the built in windage tray stopped windage all the way up to 4500-5k. Best $300 I could have spent on an oil pan!

Not yet lol
The new pistons, splayed caps and main studs came in today. I need some more cash so this thing can go to the machine shop.
