Default Ring Gap on a forged 346 with small shot

What are the reccomended first and second ring gaps for a forged 346 with a potential nitrous setups (150 shot). As of now, I have them set at .017" top ring and .019" second ring.

Personally, I would loosen them up a bit. .022 top and .024" second, possibly even more depending if you plan to change jets in the future.

The rings gaps you listed is typically where I set up an n/a 346ci motor.
