I know that the collaris are shimmed for 30%, but i run 20% in all of my other vehicles, how many shims do you need to take out to run 20% at the premium level they do now w/30% settings? :shrug:
 
Hey Ncr, the difference in performance between the 20% and 30% is tremendous. I broke mine in with the 20, ran about 8 tanks. Now on the 30 and the power difference is very noticable. It's like it was made specifically to use the higher nitro mix. Idles better, more rpm, better mid power. Still not tuned perfectly to the 30 yet so running a little warm.(upper 250's to 265)

I believe it has five shims!

It has four shims, where did you get that number?

If mine was supposed to come with 5 I want to know.
