370 ring gap for boost and nitrous?? when your planning to maybe spray nitrous with your moderate (15-17lbs) boost, do you need to space the rings differently??
Or another question, should i be looking at a different piston? my plan, i believe, is to use some weisco boost pistons??

go with gapless rings. you can have like .026 gap and total seal rings wont leak down or butt(depending on how hot the engine gets). used some on a stroker big chevy that had 2 stages of n2o(400hp). 2% leak down @ .026 gap. theyre pricey but worth it. most ring manufacturers have instructions on what to gap the rings at in the box with the rings u buy. if not give them a call and tell them what ya got and im sure they can give u a spec

good call, ill just contact the manufacturer when i install them. didnt know how many people have dealt with this situation before. its not a def. that i will be spraying, but i dont want to set something up that will limit my abilities, im not out to break any kind of records, but i do like to push my setups to their limit.
