Buddy of mine is rebuilding his 6.0 and was wondering what rings everyone is using.
Pretty much stock internals with Lunati cam in the area of 221/218 and head work. Made a little over 400 at the wheels.

I don't see any reason why stock piston rings couldn't do the job.

People run 700+ whp with stock bottom ends so I'd think they'd be just fine.

Thanks for your input MrHP

Total Seal makes a nice ring set, but in reality I've seen the factory rings take some pretty good abuse and hold up fine. If everything is apart you might consider opening the ring gaps up for use with a big power adder.

Aaron, how much do you recommend opening them up? This motor dyno'ed a little over 400 HP (RWHP) with tuning and he is working his way up to a 300 HP shot.

Notalent

Totalseal CS AP ring package if your going to be replacing rings, cheap insurance. They are a bit more forgiving on the cylinders than say a Hellfire. For gap, follow Totalseals spec chart and you will be fine.
