How did nitrous get such a bad rep...?

Ring gap is important. The alleged HP lost on wider gaps is mostly nonsense. Most of our builds are inefficient to the point that the gaps don't matter at all. An extra few thou, .006ish, on a 4.030 bore isn't a big deal.

KB Hyper pistons are really sensitive here to ring gaps on juice.



Just for the heck of it if I ever tear my 422 down I want to try to check a couple of rings to see what my ring gaps are after 4 years of bracket racing and running alcohol. The best pass ever was a 5.98 in 2018. My last pass in in 2019 was 6.04 so after four years the car never lost anything. The ring gap had to open up during that time. Just curious to see how much.
