There is lots of stock trucks out there running that kind of boost. I'm sure nobody changed their rings. I got my rings at my local dealer. $35 for 3 rings on each piston. That is for my 6.0l to. Shouldn't be much difference for an LS1.

 

so is that $35 times 8

 

I was wondering the same thing cause that seems realy high

 

seems like on ls1tech somebody said they spen $300 something on rings from gm it seemed high to me too.

 

Yep, that price is times 8. Luckily I didn't need that many. I bought a set of brand new take out LQ9 pistons from Ebay and 1 piston was missing the rings. Only paid $110 for the pistons, rings,valve springs, and pushrods. All I needed was the pistons and rings. The guy bought a crate motor (never been started) that he was going to supercharge for his S10 Blazer and he took that stuff out.

 

so is this the only place to get these things and does anybody know or ever use the perfect circle rings???

 

I went with the dealer ones cause it would match the rest of the other pistons. Since I just needed enough for 1 piston and not the whole set. If I needed the whole set, probably would have went with some Speed Pro file fit rings. Considering they have the correct size.

 

anymore info on this? where to get lq9 rings?

 

gm parts direct

127 for ls1 and 174 for lq9

 

Are you sure about that? Do you have a part number?
I have been checking and
autozone cant get them
spdc wants 270.00
Dealership wants 360.00
