my life motto LOL. What makes you say this?

 

Being WOT for 10 seconds vs 5 seconds is a looooooong time

 

so 15 lbs is too much, even with meth injection? that's boring lol.

 

Do you even know the actual ring gaps in your engine???
Do you know what type and brand of rings you have???

high compression, moderate boost, and high IATS. Your looking at boost as a number, on your setup you are gonna have to play around with boost and timing. You may make more at 12lbs with decent timing then 15lbs with no timing. For your CR and blower E85 would be perfect.

 

 

I didn't measure it myself, but the TSP build sheet advertises it at .019 top and .021 2nd. It was built for N/A and small Nitrous...boost was an afterthought from the original builder. it has the TSP Weisco pistons so I assume it is running the weisco rings as well.

the weisco recommendation for "moderate" turbo (whatever that means) suggests .020 first and .022 2nd. pretty dang close.

Hold my beer and watch this I guess....It either goes, or it blows. I hope it goes.

 

To compare, mines .022/.024

 

I did .026 first ring and .028 2nd ring for mine just in case I really turn it up. But i think .022/.024 is more common for the turbo guys on Sloppy Mechanics. Then again, there is several running stock ring gaps with high boost and haven't blown up..yet. lol

 

Well there is a difference between stock rings and aftermarket rings also, stock rings are weaker and should have a bit more gap to them.
