Most of the forged pistons I see use 1/16", 1/16" 3/16" piston rings. I believe the stock pistons (& some forged) use 5/64", 5/64", 3/16" rings. On a mainly street nitrous motor, what top/middle ring thickness is better? Why? What other general knowledge about rings can you guys give me? 70 Roadrunner convt. street car 440+6, NOS, 4-spd, SS springs '96 Mustang GT convt. street car '04 4.6 SOHC, NOS, auto, lowered "Officer, that button is for short on-ramps"
