it made very little difference when I shimmed mine. Maybe a bit better throttle repsonse.

Looks like an awful lot of work for someone who doesn't pull a lot or running tons of horsepower. Should I still get the IC though...I might be able to sell it?

You guys are awesome.

when you shimmed your regulator its a good thing to check the fuel presure off the valve by your fuel bowl.(looks kinda like a tire valve stem)

Max I think you want around 80psi, personally I'm running about 78psi. The difference I see is throttle response in the city.

6 months ago I removed my shim trying to figure out an issue I had with the engine with a scanner and when I drove it it was a real dog until you laid into it.

Check you fuel pressure though, to much pressure and you'll loose power
