Default Shortblock built for nitrous? Ring Gap? Spacing? Coated Pistons?

Having a forged 347 built with hellfire rings and wanted to know if the stock ring spacing on diamond pistons was enough for a dual stage 300 shot. It won't see that shot very often but will see a 100-150 single stage quite often...

Should I go with a piston coating? Would it make much of a difference?

If the spacing is not recommended then what spacing should I order the custom pistons in? Will I see oil usage with the wider gapped nitrous rings?

I tried a search but gave up after about an hour and alot of .020-.024 and others saying completely tighter specs on stock spacing...also lots of arguements over the second ring being gapped more than the first or less than the first...
