Default What ring gap?

I did a search and came up with this.
Top ring 20-35
2nd ring 22-37

It is a 4.03 witch i had trouble finding the info i wanted. Most of what i cam up with was for bottle and i am not sure if that is the same gap as i would use for boost. This will be in a DD so i know i can not run a **** load of ring gap. I know that the bottom ring needs to be to have more of a gap to keep ring flutter away. Any input to find out what kinda gap i need to run would be great. Looking to make lots of power with lots of boost. I am not aimming for a psi goal i am aimming for 700rwhp. So what ever boost i have to run i will do it.

Consult with your ring manufacturer always. Not sure where you got those numbers from, but .035 is a lot of gap. You should be around .022 or so for the top ring with that much boost.
