I've seen people running really high pressures, 22+ for example who gap them. I don't know that I've seen someone mention gapping rings for anything less than 20 psi. Many factors here though.

Once I get my 80e refreshed and back in, I plan to run 15+ on e85 and have no intentions of opening up the lower end to gap the rings.

what are u running for fuel? is ur truck flex fuel? and are u on meth? i thought of that but everyone says fuel pump n injectors wont hold. 63# injectors on stock fuel pump. mine is not flex fuel nor do i have meth. i wouldnt mind running 14psi on my big as boat as the 80e 1st gear is slow. a 601st on an 80e would be dope though lol

I'm in the process of swapping in a 4.8L for boost and I'm not going to gap the rings at all. Everyone I've talked to have had great luck running 20+ psi with fairly stock bottom ends
