Hey guys I'm running a twin 76htz setup looking for high boost 30lbs and high hp maybe 800whp. Just curious, the Pistons I'm running are Ross 99809 if you go on summit raceing website. Noticing the piston ring material is made of moly, would you guys be comfortable pushing this boost? These are supposed to be 8.1:1 cp ratio. Thanks guys!

You have more than likely already put this together but for anyone else reading. Moly coated top rings are ok for lower boost settings but aren't advised for higher boost setups. The moly has a tendency to flake off at higher boost settings. Here is a decent article discussing it.

I've had to do a lot of this research myself. Here is another good article.
