Also as regards shimming for 30% - i read the alpha review but it sort of confused me

What would you guys recommend (i run OD 97T plugs in all my motors) as the correct shimming.
0801 is the best pipe for the engine all around IMO but the 053 may work pretty good... it comes shimmed for 30%... and this engine really likes P3s and P4s but the OD87T works good also, the 97T is a little cold for the engine but it will work, the tuning window is just very small.
