That's a pretty standard gap if you do a little searching and is commonly recommended. It's also what I used in my block as well I'm currently building. The pistons come with a chart as well to do the math for your particular application.

Since the redirects are not working here is a cached version of a thread about this topic and BogusSVO goes through the calculation.

Best of luck with your build.

Yesterday I helped a good friend build his motor with plans for a 500whp build, top ring gap we went .018" and bottom ring gap we went .024".

.018-.020" on the 1st ring and .022-.024" on the 2nd ring is very common. What boost are you planning on running? I'm right in the middle of that range on both rings and I'm running 35psi and about 60lb/min. I've got great compression but a little more blow by than I'd like, so I just change my oil more often.
