Just so you know now... Those gaps are tighter that I'd like for big shots of nitrous (I'm assuming a 402 here), especially if it's a steel top ring... what's the bore? ci? Also the Diamonds can come with two different ring packs. Which one did you get?

Yeah... That ring gap is pretty tight for nitrous use, especially if it's a steel top ring... Light use would be ok, but I'd be concerned about breaking a ring due to expansion of a steel top ring if you hit it hard..
