Piston Rings
Without checking TRW's catalogue I am not sure if they offer pistons that take one size ring or if they also offer pistons for thin rings.
I will say it was a mistake if you bought old school pistons for thick rings, part of why the LT1 works so well is the thin low drag rings.

Any rebuild kit parts are going to be lower quality, but you will probably ok if you are just looking for a street car and not a racer.
Find the kit on summit and see what size rings you need for those pistons. You can buy pre-gapped rings or file-to-fit. If you're planning on any power adder or a lot more HP than stock, you should get the file-to-fit and have someone who knows what they're doing install them for you.
