Yes, and there he is...thank you.
I knew somebody must know, and somebody did!
Inevitable follow-up is...Pro seal "sportsman" vs. pro seal "race"?... ....but I won't go there. It's safe enough to assume the cheaper ones aren't going to have the Napier second. The JE rings look to be a good value.
I've got plenty of time to decide which way to go...
Thanks for all the replies. The Pro Series is a "ultra finish" steel top with Napier rings while the Sportsman deal is typically a more conventional Plasma Moly top ring with a standard barrel face 52nd ring with no underhook to scrape oil. Either one I would use up to about 800hp beyond that I would stay with the Pro series.

Pistons have locked me into 1/16-1/16-3/16.....Mostly street so, std tension oil ring, Old tried and true stuff. Nothing fancy.
Just looking at options, and would like to figure out the manufacturing base a little better like we seem to have for so many others.
It never hurts to save a buck, and when the same parts are sold under multiple brands it's best to use it to our advantage.
Will probably go with a conventional barrel face second ring, same as always.
thanks so much for the breakdown!
2nd rings are not barrel faced, they are taper faced at ~2°.

Appreciate the response. That's new to me. Do tell? The more details the better.
