Just wanted to know if anybody is using gas ported Pistons in there daily driver boat. Not anything I'm interested in for a build however just curious. I see pros and cons given the right application.

I have heard they get plugged with carbon on daily drivers. Great on wide open only drag cars. Not much input I know, but its all I got.

Evidently they help ring flutter however when the ports start getting plugged I would imagine it would be hard on the top ring basically throwing it off balance. Routine tear downs and maintenance for more racing application.

How about gas ported rings...well, kind of

I run lateral gas ports in my turbo LS engines, according to weisco that is the deal for ring seal under boost...
