Default Wiseco GFX ring gap
Engine builder gapped rings at 0.053 x bore on both top and bottom rings. That's a little wider than "moderate nitrous". What is "moderate nitrous"?

Well what is considered "moderate nitrous"? Based on the gfx ring guide it's currently a little wider that moderate nitrous which would be gapped 0.020

I would consider moderate at 250 or less. If you go a little too big its no big deal. If you dont go quite enough its a huge problem.
