    Ok so I just put together my bottom end on a 6 cyl twin turbo car.. the bore ie 3.445.. my top ring gap was 22 so I left it alone.. but I got a lil wild with the file and gapped the bottom ring to 28-30.. did i go too far..!? Will it be fine or should I order another set of rings and redo the 2nd ring to closer to 24-25..? Does 5 thousands make that much difference in compression.. ? I run 15 lbs of boost..

    I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case scenario you might get a little more blow by.

    It will be fine, better than too tight.
