ring gap for LY6 with boost
I'm am getting close to assembly for my LY6, and thought I would get some input from people that have been there. I have pretty much stock everything and was wondering what I should gap the rings at. Right now they are at .026 top and .028 bottom. I will be running pump gas a majority of the time at about 15 PSI. Occasionally I will add E85 and turn the boost up to maybe the low 20's. I would like to break 900 at the ground. Does anyone that has been there before think I should be using a different gap?

Mine are setup exactly like that from my machine shop after talking to em about what i wanted to do with my 370 if that helps any.
|
Thank you. That's where I have them on my 370 too. The one thing I wonder about is the LY6 has a thinner top ring than my Wiseco's or even stock LQ4's. I have heard of people going less and people going more.

Ly6 makes over 1000 rwhp gap are .028 and .028

^^^ Thanks, that is the info I was looking for. I was just stumbling across your TT Notch build.

saw as high as 27psi for a short run but makes passes at 24-25 psi
20* timing 11.4 afr on E85 |

for 80 bucks why risk anything....
it was tuned off plugs using Br7efs 14-15 is leaving alot of power on the table if using e85 especially at lower boost levels 14-15* is a good 93 timing number but in the end youll need to read plugs to know how much timing to push or cant push...the setup didnt use knock sensors either |
Ok, I Have rod bolts on their way.
14-15 is what I was thinking on 93 @ 15 PSI and on E85 @ 22 PSI. Hopefully I can get this together soon. |
Are you going to run meth with the 93 or just pure 93? I wouldn't run much more than 14-15 on 93 at 15 PSI without meth.
