...so i should be fine with just the 1 alloy?....and then when i go to 30% what shims should i add?
I myself use 30%byrons with the 2 copper shims.[.2mm-.1mm] I did use the one .3mm shim but quit because they seamed to air leak on me. Now if your going to run 30% it is hard to tell you what shim pack to use. The reason being,how good do you tune? elevation,those sort of things. But mainly your tuning ability. After my engine is broke in I change the rear bearing to ceramic and the rod. Then I set the shim stack and put my needles back to flush. From there I turn the hsn in 1 full turn and leave it. Then I turn the lsn in 1.25 turns,then I check and reset if needed the idle gap. Then it's time to fire it up and get warmed up. At this point I stop using the heating gun to warm the engine and just put a beer coozie over the head. From there it's just touching the lsn 1/16th turn in or out[mostly in] after warm up. The other thing I forgot to mention is before I get this far I use massive mods run in oil in the very first 2 tanks. So as you can see everybody has their own way of doing things.
