Yeah called the machine shop n he assure me .029 was tottally fine gap for supercharged and for nitrous they even go as big as .041 on some app that seems way to big but oh we'll, if it smokes I will have to have a long talk with them lol. They do all the machine work for the Shelby facility here in Vegas

Cool. That seems excessive to me, but if you've got a reputable builder giving you that info, go for it.
Mine doesn't smoke and makes good power. I hope you don't have to have a talk with your builder.
Best of luck to you, keep us updated!

If you havent finished fully assembling the motor, I would recommend using the larger pivot studs I make for the teskid blocks. If your interested let me know
