from everything I have seen putting the shimming up to .8 is going to hurt bottom end not help it......

The stock FMS runs a pretty low trapped compression ratio to begin with, if it was me I would be reducing the shim stack, not adding to it if your looking for more bottom end......... sorry to butt in !
