I definetly am not using alum shoes and not 1.1's either. I was going to use .9's w/carbon shoes and go to the smallest restrictor to start, I know the D8 isnt the lightest buggy but mine is pretty light. I had between 3-4 oz milled off the chassis and CF towers so I figure its right around the same weight as most others out there now. Since I just heard the issue with the .9's I will try 1.0's instead. From my expierence 1.1's and carbons wear quickly thats why I am trying to stay away from that combo, we shall see. I am also temted to try 1 of them new "UGLY" Trinity pipes on there but the Dynamite is awesome.
Malik - just use the stock clutch/springs.... trim the shoes like Jesse does it'll be dialed. I tried the alum shoes this weekend and didnt like them. I run a 6.5 restrictor in my EBM5FM
