Dan,
Don't use extra shims on the axles. The instruction specifically says how many and that's how many it should be there. Extra shims on the axle might eat into the plastic hub and eventually prematurely wear out your axle bearings. Same goes for the diff shims. Shim the diff just as instruction says and let the gears break in first before you start playing with the shims. The car is loud at first, but after a few race weekends (or a few hard runs) it'll quiet down and then you can play with the shimming to free it up even more.

Even told my wife Ramon was coming and to take your wife shopping at Redeo Drive.
