HellFire rings have been out for a little while and its Federal Mogual who makes them not JE. What your looking for is the top ring which is a HellFire. Here is the scoop:

HELLFIRE RINGS top

Far Superior to Tool Steel Rings!
More Power!
Higher Crankcase Vacuum!
Greater Durability!
Easier On Cylinder Walls!
Better Oil Control!

Speed-Pro’s “Hellfire” series piston rings are the ultimate ring design for use under extreme racing conditions. The product of extensive research and development, our unique new HF479 material and ni-chrome plasma facings have been proven to deliver unmatched power, durability and sealing. Hellfire rings have been tested and proven in NHRA Pro-Stock, and in NMCA “Fastest Street Car” competition. Over the last year of testing, these rings have become the most talked about “speed secret” among professional race engine builders. The HF479 ring material retains tension despite intense cylinder pressure and heat. It is easy on cylinder walls and pistons and is still able to survive with mega-doses of nitrous oxide. Ni-chrome plasma is the latest innovation in piston ring face coatings. Another Speed-Pro exclusive, this ultra-durable material delivers superior scuff and wear resistance, and outstanding resistance to flaking due to its amazingly strong bond to the base ring material. Speed-Pro competition series piston rings combine metallurgical superiority, race proven design profiles with the machining excellence which made Speed-Pro the undisputed leader in cylinder sealing technology. When compared to steel piston rings, Hellfire rings deliver higher crankcase vacuum, greater high RPM power and improved oil control.

JE does sell them, but I bet Federal-Mogul makes them for JE.

I think I paid about $125 to $150 for all the rings that came with my JE pistons. From what I have read, these are the rings for nitrous. I haven't sprayed my motor too much yet, but watch out next year.

Have you heard any good or bad things about the total seal rings when used for N2O?

you should NEVER use total seal ring's on a boosted, nitrous or high compression application's.
