What rings and what are the gaps? Have you busted open the filter yet? So the difference between a race and street motor is the bearing clearance regardless of the application, i.e NA, FI, nitrous?
My problem is i would get locked up if I drove it on the street, so the dyno is an only option for me

The rings are the weisco rings that came with the pistons. Elky might remember the gap. I have not taken the filer off yet.......but you don't even want to know what Rick @ Synergy said when I told him about the "break-in" debate in this thread.......lol

Rick is gonna be floging mine right after the first start up, so i hope it didn't contradict that
. I'm taking my cue from the folks next door to Rick that built my motor.
I was just curious to see what your gaps were compared to mine. I also consider a 900 hp motor a race motor so not sure where the distinction gets seperated between race and street and why you set clearances up accordingly. I understand the FI apps usually get more clearance than NA, so I thought that was a given on an FI motor regardless of street or race. Just trying to learn here is all. Is the clearance difference pretty much for break in then?

The absolute best way to break in a motor is full boost to 6000 rpm. Period. The only componet in a modern engine that gets "broke" in is the rings and they will only seal under full load...
All the shops I know will break in a motor by building it then strapping it down to the dyno and going for it.

Top ring was .022 second ring was .026.
Some extra clearence in the second ring so if it does get past the first ring it wont hit the second ring and turn back around and blow the top of the piston off.You would rather have it push past the oil ring a bit rather then truning back around and lifting the piston.And yes i know the crew next door to rick bad *** ****.I sometimes race with them at sac.
