.023-.025 Is commonly what I do with our rings and is typicly a general consensus from every builder I have talked to in the past about mod motors (and what chrisheltra's and my first build was). I know on N/A motors you would tighten them up for our bore size.

Now the bottom ring I agree I usually woln't go larger than .013, I pretty much agree with you.

But I keep reading these articles about a larger bottom gap and it goes against everything I know about building engines.... I figured it would be a pretty good discussion topic.
