I'm just staying with stock pistons and rods, honing my walls and just keeping everything pretty much the same, but I'm running 8-9psi on a blower. Should I just stick with OEM rings or is there somebody thats better? I'm looking for maybe 240-260whp

Thanks!

stick with OEM rings for OEM pistons. They aren't a weak point.

 

damn isn't the stock compression a little high for boost?

You wouldn't believe it, I'm afraid to have my head resurfaced because I'm currently running Iowas highest octain just so I wont ping. I really wish I had the money for new rods and pistons. Maybe next year...

 

ahahaah cat on your icon looks like dave chapell!

 

Hah, First time I've heard that...

 

I agree. OEM rings are great quality. I recently rerung my engine and the OEM rings are still holding perfect compression at 10 psi daily on the Greddy kit.
