pistons and N2O
pistons and N2O i am putting a 383 LT1 together that has N2O rails in it that can handle from 150 shot to a 300 shot. i have speed-pro hypereutectic floating pin pistons summit part number TRW-8KH860CP30 and was wondering what would be the recommended shot used on these pistons since they are not forged?
i was told that it should take 200 easy with the 11.5-1 compression that it has and the hypereutectic pistons that are in it.... would nitrous based rings have a tighter gap? i know that the top is a molly coated and they are 1/16, 1/16, 3/16.

ring gaps are larger for nitrous, or any power adder for that matter. Those pistons might be ok with 200....untill it detonates, then you have trouble. forged pistons are less fragile and can deal with a little detonation, hypers, on the other hand..well damn near shatter
Ring gap is different, how far down from the top the first ring is, alot of stuff.
Sucks that they're heavier, but ou need more material in order to withstand abuse. Rebalancing the whole lower end isn't probably something you wanted to do, but if you want to hit it, you really need the right parts.
