Hyper vs Forged

This will be for a n/a 408 on 91oct that will be going in my 86 W150. It wont see more than 500hp and rev no higher than 6500rpm. I was gona go with forged IC983 27cc 9.1:1 or hyper KB416 25cc 9.3:1. It sounds like hypers can handle more than the factory thin-wall block, so I'll order me a set of hypers.

What rings would guys suggest for the best longevity???

Thanks for all the input :thumrigh:

Get some hastings or some mahl 'perfect circle' single moly, but consult the machinist who's doing the bore finish.

fwiw...My 410 uses KB356 hypers @ 10.1, .564 lift & 6600rpm, and soon to go on the dyno....stay tuned!
