They ended up using Ross pistons which I believe use the factory rings.

See now to me that sounds a little more reasonable. A built 12V with some good headwork tends to make about the same hp/boost as a stock 24V. 700+whp at 22psi is off the charts high.

It doesn't. Basically there is nothing you can do to a 12V VR head to make it flow as well as a stock 24V head....
You can get somewhat close, but not quite there. Either way, my point was that 700whp at 22psi is a rediculous overestimate regardless of what's done to the motor.
