So...
With a standard ( 5/64-3/16 ) ring package and a 15.5 comp ratio on 118 gas, what ring material? <6k rpm.

I may have to try some of those 1/4" rings too. Better oil control.

Imo file fit is the way to go,total seal is hard on the block too much drag,but will help with vacum.

Just get a set of file fit rings from somebody like Speed-Pro or Akerly & Childs and go have fun.

And there's your final answer! A good plasma-moly file fit ring will last a long time as long as you set the gaps properly!

trying to find rings isn't working for me...
on summit or jegs..
4.420 file fit... unless i'm screwing up somewhere...
1/16, 1/16, 3/16
Sealed Power ZR9374065 - Sealed Power File-Fit Plasma-Moly Piston Rings - the only set i can find....
good enough for a race engine with high compression??
