What ring gap should I run?

It's gonna be mostly NA, tho I plan to put on a 150 shot down the road. What effects what ring gap you run anyway?

oh yeah...while I got people who know something about rings in here, should I upgrade to moly rings? what advantages do they have?

as a rule you run .004 per inch of bore. hyper pistons require about 40% more gap on the top ring because of higher heat transfered to the ring. no idea about n2o and ring gaps.
