Which tension would be best for my n/a 14:1cr 580ci?
Thanks

Are the pistons gas ported? are you running a vac pump?

Yes they're gas ported and i'm not sure on pump or evac sysrem.

Id definetly lean towards the lighter oil and back cut rings.

Well, if you have a consistent machinist who regularly does your hone jobs, and you are sure the rings will hook up and seal, I'd run the low tension rings. If you don't run a vacuum pump, at least run the old tried and true Moroso crankcase evac system from the collectors to the valve covers.

If it's a new guy you don't know anything about, you might want to give a second thought about running std. tension rings.
