Been there, doing that, even in some limited class circle track engines I build. I'll go one step further than Dwight. He's right about advertisement, but I think the MBA's Call it marketing of a product. It is just like all the other little tricks done from long ago with rings. You can now buy various ring packages from specialty ring suppliers(some majors too) with the modifications already performed. All you old Modified and Gas racers remember when you couldn't buy a gas ported piston. Had to do it yourself didn't you. I still have my fixture. It is so easy now all you have to do is tell a piston MFG the hole count,placement and size you want. Oh yea, any of you guys ever gas ported a ring? :~)
