Default New piston ring ??

What rings would you guys recommend for stock CI,forged motor, running a big shot of nitrous? Also around what should the ring gap and other specs be. I want it to be good to handle a 300 shot, yet it wont be sprayed too often. Thanks.

I would use some Total Seal Gapless Top Ring's (sold as MAX seal sets).
Top ring bore x .009"
2nd ring bore x .008"
oil rail ring Min .015"

Not ure on the clearences, but the "hell fire" rings are supposed to be a good nitrous ring. Then again, if your not going to spray that often, maybe a nice "comprimise" ring and clearence would be better.
