Default what rings?

i'm building a motor to get me through the winter.
i'll be using my current turbo set up and not looking for any extreme numbers (275ish whp on a md).

the motor is a b18a1 w/ b16 pistons and a pnp/deshrouded valves/polished combustion chambers ls head. i figure i should be able to pick up a few ponies with the new setup over my stock ls turbo.

so my question is, what piston rings should i run? and what should i gap them to?
keep in mind, this is my daily driver and i'm not looking for any extreme numbers, just something stout and reliable for boosted stock engine.

Thanks in advance for any input

Always use the rings the came with the pistons and the recommended gap.
