Just curious what my fellow N2O brothers that have rebuilt went with

If you want you can add what your rings are gaped at and what your piston to wall is?

Went with Wiseco pistons and their rings. The pistons are 2618 alloy for the nitrous and the top ring is a steel ring for nitrous. The gaps I don't know my engine builder took care of that.

What are your goals?

Not everyone needs custom pistons and hellfire rings.

Went with a custom Diamond piston this go-around. Most nitrous motors have a Hellfire/TnT top rings, Napier second ring is usually a good idea. The gap is usually X(which is recommended by ring manufacturer) times the bore.
