Suggestions...

Gotta get something ordered soon, just don't know what to do. I like the idea of gapless, but as I read it seems they may have issues in race engines - something about ring flutter.

The engine will be a 439 (427 BBC .060 over) Manly 13:1 pistons. I really doubt it will ever get sprayed.
