[QUOTE="01blckcobra, post: 16039416, member: 92039"] Guessing you have aftermarket cams with the compression test? I have stainless rings. as long as the honing is performed right, they no different to break in. First few miles a had just a very lit coating on oil on the spark plugs. After 100 miles no more oil present. Was told by CP if you street drive, take it easy for the first 100 miles (no boost) After that go balls out if you want. Have never had an issue with stainless going by what CP told me. Holds 25psi no oil gets by. You want the rings to break-in flat with the cylinder walls. Since low load /rpm will be the average the engine sees. If its a strictly a drag car, drive it how you're going to drive it at the track. you'll be replacing rings each year anyways. or should. Motors going to see on average higher load / rpms vs street driving. The rings will wear at angles top and bottom due to ring flex. Prone to leak at low rpms as the ring "relaxes" [/QUOTE]
