Ring gap for boosted 5.3 Looking for some advice on how much to open up my ring gaps on my Incon TT 5.3. Stock block/rods/pistons with ARP cracked rod bolts. What are you guys running for ring gaps? I've done searches and it seems everyone is giving advice for e85 setups or max effort setups. This will be for a 600hp street car with meth.
Thanks!

Are you guys experiencing more blow by with the gaps this large? I've got a pretty decent catch can setup so I"m not too worried about it. I guess that would be better than breaking a ring land!
i WAS THINKING STOCK RING GAP WAS .0015-.0017 ON THE TOP
.0030 IS BIG,, HELL MY BBC HAD JUST OVER .0030 AT 496CI WITH 19PSI OF BOOST
IM BUILDING A 5.3 NOW WITH 20 TOP AND BOTTOM JUST MY .02

I read this article http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/h...g_bang_theory/ and adjusted to this along with other peoples experiences with boosted 5.3's.
