for the same price ( $80 shipped )

I have allways though in Moly. Usually Chromed are more expensive but wondering if priced the same, which one and why ? What could be the difference or advantage on my application

Hot street use, maybe couple of visit to track just to know my car. Even being driver car with my NOW 448 stroke.

BTW, I get you some news... MY BLOCK GOT A DAMAGE ON CILINDER walls, so after get everything ready to keep standard in hands, I'll have to sell the pistons and rings locally I had in hands ( won't be easy ) and get 0.020" overbore... more delay.  :brickwall:

the good news... found KB215 pistons in $280 plus shipping with a seller with those in stock ( no delay on shipping ) but their rings price was something to forgett, so getting rings from another source ( 0.020" 400 rings are definitelly not easy and not too many options on market for that size )

Chrome are too hard , I had 7000 miles on a set , raced at the track & beaten hard everytime the engine was run , when I pull it down there was barely a wear mark on the rings yet

not so good, seller made a mistake on price ( they made the mistake about quote me the price for the KB251s ) and at the end they quoted me the same than Summit  for the right KB215s ( with the diff Summit doesn't have them in stock and it takes 15 days or so to get them delivered ) and of course shipping... Oh well... not bad anyway, but I was dreaming.

They offered me apologizes for the price missundertanding and a 10% discount on my next order. Will check what I could need but I'm pretty sure nothing at this moment.

On the other hand got Hasting Moly rings:
