fire rings/O rings

[Smokey]

does anyone know what is actually required to install them? i know i need head studs, and a special head gasket for the rings to mate properly with, but ive heard conflicting info on if you need to cut a groove for the rings in the block, head, both.... Also, is there a differnce between firerings and o rings? i plan on boosting around 80-100 lbs when im done

i know some of u higher Hp guys might be able to help me out
