Default Confirm my ring gap math

Quick run-down of the build:
IA2 535 forged bottom end
4.5" stroke w/ 6.8" rods
Ross flat tops 4.350 bore
Edelbrock non-wide ports

Due to potential of running mild amount of nitrous, ordered Total Seal "TNT" rings

Per Total Seal instructions, 150-350 hp shot, gap = bore x .0065 for both top and second rings.

4.350 x .0065 = .028 (.028275)

I'm not even 100% sure I will run nitrous, but it's something I've considered. Also considered running boost at some point, and per the total seal instructions, I think that gap would suffice for up to at least 20 psi.

This .028" gap seem sufficient? For both top and second rings?
