Default Which rings for a Supercharger?

Considering 8-10lbs boost should I go stock or GAPLESS? TIA

I'm running file fit ross rings on my ross pistons. I was going to run the TS1(total seal rings), but was told gapless will reduce blow by for high boost and give the car more power.
I have known others who use the Total Seal rings and have done really well with them.

If you have the motor apart, why not just run good aftermarket ones? The TS1 rings aren't too expensive.

I'm running Total Seal on my SC car. I really think they are the best especially for boosted engines. redusing blowby = power.

No I donot have the part # handy. Its -28cc Heavy Duty Inverted Dome for blower applications. When using this piston with stock 54cc LT1 head that will give you 9:1 c/r. I bought them thru Chris at SpeedDemon MotorSport. He is a vendor here. I have bought quiet a few things from Chris. great guy.
