Sorry Cab, if you build a motor with hyper's and leave standard end gaps you will break some stuff. The hyper pistons retain more heat in the top. Therefore you need more end gaps. Why would you put more gap on the second ring? Just follow the directions that come with the pistons and you will be good.

I put a cheap set of hypers in a 390 ford for a friend in 2012.They are still in there in one piece. Instructions said to gap at usual spec. I opened them up by quite a bit instead. I'm the only one who knows they are wider, if they were too tight and lifted the land, everyone would know.

I've learn that wider end gaps are way better than a tiny bit, even .000010, to tight will kill parts
I am not a fan of cast hyper type pistons either
Forged pistons live longer with the same abuse
I do know that there are no parts made that can't be hurt by the right, parts killer customers, persons
I thought I remember reading the instructions on a set of the early KB hyper pistons saying to open the 2nd ring gap way up, not the top ring
