I had chuck build a few motors, likely he couldn't get low compression pistons when this one was being built so switched for the shim. If you want my opinion, run 50% premium and 50% c111 or c12 and turn the boost up to 15-20lbs and hang on. Do you know what you have for clutching? weight model, actual weight, primary spring, secondary helix, secondary spring and wound rate?

a friend of mine built that sled originally it has headshim only if know one else messed with it. It used to work really really good. PM me if you like.
That’s awesome I figured someone on here would recognize it. Thanks I will send you a pm with a few questions. Lund this sled does have a afr gauge and I watch it frequently. I have been running a nytro turbo for 10 years before I bought this one. A mod turbo needs a afr gauge.

This thing came clutched almost identical to my nytro turbo. Except heavier weights. Its boost it clutching 47 deg helix with purple spring at 1-0 and 72 gram adjustable daltons with 14.5 rollers and blue brown blue spring.
