Yup- I wouldn't recommend taking a shim out. Detonation is the silent killer. But definitely try it- run it for half a gallon or so and check the piston and sleeve for detonation. If no sings your good to go. You geographic location, altitude, weather etc. has alot to do with the detonation.

Status: offline 		If you see pitting on top of your piston or head button then that is a sure sign of detonation.
