First, is anybody familiar with the total seal or childs&albert gapless rings, are they worth it? And I have a ZZ4 in my camaro and was thinking of taking off the tuned port and putting on a six pack, I am looking for about 380 hp and 450 ft/lb. Would this be wise or should I just keep the tuned port?

 

I've heard good and bad things about the gapless. A plus is that there is virtually no blow by and compression is very accurate. One downside is the built up crank case pressure but that is why we have the PCV valve. If I were going to do a complete rebuild I might try them. As for getting rid of the TPI, go for it if you don't care for the low end torque. If you're looking to do more drag than anything then I would ditch the TPI and go with either carb or a short runner MPFI system like edelbrocks/holley and all those other companies. Or if you aren't on a tight budget, go with the miniram system .

Don't run gapless rings for high rpm applications... For a TPI motor they should be ok..

 

A six pak? Like 3 carbs? That's antiquated tech and even real six pak cars (440 mopars) would run faster and get better fuel milage with a single 4bbl. That holds true even if you could ever get all 3 carbs syncronized, which usually never happens.
