Ring gap question my stock rebuild is a bit.. unique.. as i have gone with a better ring pack and have been trying to do little things that may get me bits of power here and there. the setup is a 6.0 w/ 4.020 bore, stock type pistons, scat rods, stock crank, performance bearings, etc. the rings im using are the total seal AP rings w/ a napier second.
heres my question.. because i want to add boost down the line, i want to figure out a good middle ground gap wise. should i just use the n/a gap suggestion if thats the case or go between the boosted suggestion and the n/a? i want to make the best use of these rings as i can.
since some will be curious, im using stock l92 heads, and a stock ls7 take out cam. the valves will be helped with CTSV.R lifters and im looking at what pushords to use (i want a LIGHT, strong, and affordable set). it should be an interesting stock motor.

In reality, the power loss due to enlarging the ring gap is very very minimal. Error to the boosted ring gap factor so that you don't run the risk of butting the rings later.
