I'm by no means an engine builder but I think the gap for the rings is just for piston expansion inside the cylinder but with hyper pistons the expansion is minimal and the pistons while not favored for boost, they should last as long as the stock block. The tune is what will make or break your engine with hypers. Hope this helped and i'm sure some one will correct me if i'm wrong
Edit: decide what pistons you will use before you have the block machined. The cylinder should be bored to a certain tolerance based on what material pistons you go with. Like cast pistons expand more than any other needing more tollerance inside the cylinder
