Default Nitrous Bearing Clearances

Looking to set up a little loose clearances for the new engine. Mods are in my sig, probably wouldn't be hit w/ any more than a 175 shot or so and I can't seem to find any definitive information stating what loose clearances are defined as in an LS1 based engine. Also, these were the ring gaps I was told to run by Diamond Racing:
1st Ring - .022-.023
2nd Ring - .024-.025
Oil Ring - .015-.040

Any other reccommendations? Thanks in advance!
