Edit: JohnP2 good call on the ignition timing, I missed that totally. And at first I thought you were referring to port timing, either way I had to edit my post.
Ha ha! Thank you sir. I learned the hard way about shims. One time I bent the shim while jacking with the engine on my Exceed Forza. It would not even start. I tore apart the engine again and started putting 2+2 together, and voila! Once the shim was fixed, the engine fired that is when I became interested in how compression works. I'm still a novice, but LOVE trying to figure out this sort of stuff. I'll get there one day, i'm sure.
Ah, thanks guys, I am going to up shim my hyper .28 since I am running 30% nitro and see how that feels with ignition. And again, sweet ride Andrew. Pretty soon I am going to set up my son who is 10 with his own forum name so he can get in the mix.
