I just purchased the M05 v2 and I'm really excited to build it and test the carpet waters - there's been a ton of really awesome insight into setups in this thread, and much to the dismay of my wife, I spent the majority of my weekend reading and writing down notes. There's a ton of great stuff in here!
OGR went to 21.5 blinky this year, I think because it was hard for new racers to get the ORCA combo. You can still run silver can. 21.5 is what a lot of the Washington crowd is running, so if you think you might ever get down that way...
I believe WCICS is ORCA though, at least for this season.
