A running pictorial of my monster Protomotive build

How are the piston rings in these cars. Are they decent from the factory to use in a built motor or are an aftermarket ones used used? I'm not talking about reusing the old ones, but just using the actual Porsche rings they come with.

Update:
My car just made 589 rwhp at it's lowest boost setting (.8 BAR/11.5 psi...boost controller turned off) at only 7,700 rpm. Should hit 600+ rwhp if/when we increase rpm. More numbers to follow as tuning progresses.

Damn. Nice numbers. What RPMs are you planning to run up to? What'll be the max boost?
Nice Scott.... Can't wait for the final outcome...

Buddy, GT,
We are going to see how she likes it up in the higher boost range. I want 1.7-1.8 BAR, Todd wants 1.5.
Figure 32-35 rwhp for every 1/10th BAR increase. So at 1.5 BAR (assuming only 32 rwhp per 1/10th BAR)...I'm guessing 815+ rwhp. At 1.7, we *could* see 875+ rwhp.
More to follow.

I see. So your hitting full boost around 4500 vs. 5000 rpms with a GT35?
