Be happy to help you out, looks like the parts Chris linked are special order. We can get them but I'll need your zip code for a shipped price.

When it gets down to those specifics I'm not gonna be any help! You might call JE or total seal and see if they can answer some questions, then come back and explain it to the rest of us! According to THIS (http://www.enginebuildermag.com/2012/10/performance-piston-rings/) article stainless rings can't be used in a cast iron bore without a coating.

Plasma moly and nitrous are a no no especially on that large of a shot. Buddies motor had the coating flake off after a while.
