    Well, I learned something from this, seems they have been around for awhile. Anybody ever use them.  ??

I've not seen those before.   :smile:  Wonder what the downfall is?   :notsure:  Are they more money?

They will sure generate more cylinder pressure but gaining the 10-20hp numbers is kinda farsical. Invest in a nice set of rings and save your dough.

I've used them before years ago on a Chevy 383 build. My engine builder buddy says they are not worth the money?

They are a good idea & work ok but they have to be a but weaker being 2 piece
In an all out every hp counts it would be worth it but for most builds a good file fit set should be very close to the same max power
