2.4L JE Piston ring gap

[Yamahaulin]

If you had a 2.4l shortblock with je pistons and je rings and were planing on making 600awhp what would you gap the rings at? Would .019 top and .022 second be enough for the ring expansion?

What fuel?

Mainly 93, but some e85 and some 116.

You should be ok, but i would open them up a couple .001's if going big on gasoline.

will make around 400ish on pump gas and then 600 on e85 or 116
