Thanks for all the responses.  Looks like a worthwhile upgrade.

I am trying to not reinvent the wheel.  These will be going into my street motor along with a slightly hotter cam, balancing, bucket lifters, lightened flywheel, etc.  I have a set of NOS  Hepolite 4 ring pistons .020 over that I can use, but they are pretty heavy and come with a solid oil ring that I would want to replace. Not interested in County or the new AE pistons made in India.
