Default What piston rings are you using?

I took my block to the machine shop, and the machinist asked what rings I was using. I told him the ones that came with my Arias pistons, which are chromemoly rings. He said plasma rings are the best you can buy.

My question is, will I be okay with the Arias rings or should I invest in some plasma rings? I know Ross makes plasma rings, but will they fit Arias pistons?

I'm planning on running about 20psi boost on my LS turbo, and hoping for about 350-375 hp.

Thanks for the help

Arias designed their pistons so that only arias rings can be used.

The ringlands are different sizes than most other piston companies.
