ring gap / blow bye

i just purchased a built motor with 7600 miles on it and the kid i bought it from who is pretty reputable told me that i might get some smoke due to the larger ring gap for boost does that sound normal or should i put in new rings? i will be running 15 psi on this block tuned. crower steel billet rods , je forged pistons 9:1 , balanced blueprinted

How does ring gap affect piston slap?</TD></TR></TABLE>

No it doesn't. Find out the gap he used and then determine if the gap seems right.
