Two NT1's and Two maxs lol.. good times

also the XL3 and XXL3 come shimmed for up to 25% nitro. 30% add a 0.1mm shim etc. Or you can do the old offroad trick, add 0.2-0.3mm of shim to take the power down a bit and add more when it starts getting soft. obviously tune and plug will be different.

Cheers,

strange, mine only came with .1mm headshims. i've shimmed it to .6mm for break-in. i'll eventually move down to .4mm
