For those of you thinking of removing a head shim,I wouldn't recommend it.I tried it this past weekend and it blew the plug in less than 1 tank.I removed the button to put the head shim back and it had already started pitting the piston.Just thought I'd warn people that it may junk the engine.

i removed a head shim on tank 6... and its been running now for over a gallon... and i only changed plugs for tuning options.. not because they are damaged.. you were probably lean

Humidity kills mileage.

I guess have to use a stopwatch and use comparisons while being so humid.

That's what I do. Use a stopwatch to time a full tank in practice. I also check the fuel levels after the qualifiers to make sure I can make it. 10 minutes is no problem for me in truggy. Buggy it is close.

OK now back to the JL! Sorry for the thread hijack.
