Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fire ring questions

[MGarland]

I have a few questions for the guy's that are running them. My 96 is suppose to go to Scheid in the next month for fire rings, studs, 60# valve springs and to set the timing. My question is, has anybody ever had any leaking trouble (coolant or compression) with fire rings. What is the life expectancy for them at 50# of boost, and are they a reliable for a daily driver that tows 12K every day. Thanks in advance.

If the fire ring job is done properly it is extremely reliable. At 50 psi the fire rings will be major over kill and you should have zero problems. I run about 70-72 psi daily on my setup and have had no issues, and many are running much more boost than me.
