Default Piston Ring Gaps for Nitrous Motor

Finally beginning to assemble my 427 darton sleeved motor in a couple days. I've been trying to decide on a good gap for my JE pistons....I have my ideas and JE has theirs, but I figured I'd see what others are doing before I gap them. The most nitrous this motor will ever see is about 300 hp...maybe 325-350 if the heads don't lift. The car will see a couple thousand miles a year on the street (maybe 1000-2000 or so) and will be raced regularly at the track. Don't want to kill too much power with a large gap since I want to keep NA power up as much as possible for the street.


What are your reccomendations?


Thanks,
Conrad
