How much spray?
Just get a nice set of JE forged alum flat top pistons and hell fire rings. Get whatever piston/rod combo you want and take your rotating assembly to a machine shop to have it balanced.

I know, I saw the same thread you did. However, there is more that goes into choosing the right combo not all pistons are good for spray. Im looking for the specs on stuff like how big the rings need to be and how thick the top ring land should be.

You should probably post your questions in the N2O forum.
