Ring gap for turbo motor

Going to have a 347. Stock crank, Callies rods , diamond pistons.
It's going to be N/A for a little bit, but it will have a rear mount build. Ill be running no more than 12lbs. With a 67mm. What should I gap the rings too?

Bump... Gapped the top to .022 and the second to .014. Will that work?

its on the tight side in my opinion. I'd go .026/.028 and have room to grow for more power down the road. I have no blow by issues at .030/.030.

good luck

I went by what the paper said with the total seal rings?
3.905•.0055 for the top
3.905•.0035 for the second.
