Drop your fuel %. Nitrohouse is a good source for those parts.

I gotta check what I'm running now? Will one less shim make a diff?

It will raise the compression. Running a higher % fuel may cause damage.

Is it work removing a shim and runnimg lower fuel compare to just having higher fuel?

It should work. Just double check the clearance isn't an issue. Fewer shims wil basically produce more torque, and more shims will enhance the top end.
