what are you looking for on knowledge their are several kinds high compression, replacement, low compression kinds for Forced induction.
Can you be a bit more specific?

Best thing is to read the paperwork that came with the piston rings. But, as asked, what specifically do you want to know?

Don't line up the gaps on the oil ring set. I set mine about 120* apart. The other gaps don't matter as the rings rotate a bit while in the bore during the stroke, so the gaps will line up for some time on the compression rings.
