Default How long before you wear out your piston rings from "squeezing"?

Let's say you spray a few times a month at the races. Your bottom end is stock but in good condition. How long before your piston rings start to deteriorate from using Nitrous? TIA.

total seal rings really suck........ask anyone who tried them.......do a search i think it's been coverd before.

honda rings are accualy quite good. but if they have alot of miles on them they wear out especially with alot of high rpm. but they are not meant for high rpm+heat+stress like NOS will give them.

20+ bottles and still going!!!!

About the Total Seal rings. I'll bet the house NO ONE ever bothered to contact the manufacturer to see what hone pattern/finish was needed.

Just 20 year old info from a V8 dude playing with 1/2 as many cylinders, 1/4 the displacement.
