You don't need the extra head shim for 25% or 30%.

+1 on no extra head shim needed for 30%. I run coldfusion magic. Lend it's 30% & 11% oil in my os speed, same head shims and no problems at all. Add the extra shim to increase top rpm and decrease compression to make the engine have a little less bottom, otherwise run it stock.

Just got a used V-spec in parts, and I wonder about whats the correct shimming for 20-25% nitro.

The stock shims on the V-Spec, Speed and Mugen Ninja JX-21 are one 0.2mm (0.008") aluminum shim and one 0.1mm (0.004") copper shim. This is for 25% or 30% nitro. If you are running 20% nitro remove the thinner copper shim.
