The engine wouldn't make ANY power unless it was leaned out drastically. I stopped tuning when she was starting to detonate.

I then shimmed it like a Novarossi (0.4mm total for 30%) and now she makes power even when she's slightly rich.

Too less compression is Baaaad.
thats the same way that i had my sts 3 with 30% and it ran like a jp modified!!
