Anyone here use Cast Rings on their pistons and get away with using Nitrous on TPI?

I tried this on Power Adder but seems no one has any answers. At the time of rebuild i made a mistake and rebuild the motor with forged pistons,rods,crank and got Cast SLP(Summit) piston rings. Will the rings be ok when i use a 150 shot of Nitrous? The motor has about 400 miles and im still breaking it in but id like to know if the 150 is too much? Any info would be appreciated thanx

It might work a couple of times; they won't last long though, maybe ¼ as long as the right rings would have if you're lucky. If you're seriously intending to run nitrous, I'd recomend tearing it down and putting the right stuff in it.
