Okay so I'm putting together my motor I have a stock rotating assembly with arp 2000 rod bolts and head studs.
I plan on running a 300 shot of nitrous and I'm trying to figure out what my ring gap should be.
I came up with .020 for the top ring but that seams a little small for the amount of spray also can't find numbers for the second ring.
I will be using the stick rings out of the motor.
Any help is appreciated

What are the rings at now? The stock rings might already be worn out to over .020” anyways.
Whatever the top ring is, I would go a little bigger on the second ring, like .002”-.005” bigger. That way, whatever blowby that makes it past the top ring will not get trapped and can easily get last the second ring.
