5.7 ring gap w/ nitrous - 07/02/19 02:52 AM

I have a low mileage 2018 5.7 hemi that I picked up recently. I have it apart to check the bearings and do a cam swap. While I have it apart I want to open up the ring gaps encase I spray the motor. How much are you guys opening up the ring gaps on stock bottom ends for nitrous?

I would probably just use the mmx drop in piston
Instructions as a guideline there is a video on you tube
Bore size x 7 I believe but you should check before relying on my memory
Could you post a close picture of the top rind land of
A picture I would like to compare it to a car srt

I'm not going to change pistons at this time. When I do I will replace the rotating assembly.
