Are the carb settings given in these last few posts ok to start with on 20%? It seems that most of the posts refer to 30% I'm using 20% as I was told that it is easier on the engine. Is this correct, my boys and I don't drive well enough yet to need the extra power of 30%. Just looking for reliability and ease in tuning. We run OD plugs 97T but just ordered 77T's also and engine usually only gets to 190 or so.
Brian, just done some research and confirmed the shim details with Massive Mods. You should be running .3mm to .4mm of shims, plus the .3 built into the head with a med/hot plug on 20% - So either the .3 alloy shim by itself, or for a little less compression the alloy and one .1mm copper shim together.
Cheers
