Looking for opinions on Total Seal piston rings

Am tearing down my LT1 and was thinking about using Total Seal's gapless rings. Has anyone used them, and if so, what do you think of them?

Engine:

355 LT1
LE2 heads & cam
SRP flattop forged pistons

Thanks in advance for your help.

What kind of hone? The Total Seal guy didn't mention anything about a hone in his email.
