I have never heard of shimming a valvespring, how do you go about doing this? Sorry if is a stupid question!! Also what does this do when you shim it .050?

So do any of the sponsors have some kind of a shim kit or what should I use? Also where do I put the shim right under the valvespring? Sorry for the questions I just don't want to mess something up and hurt my engine right away!!

You can get the shim kit from Thunder Racing
It comes with 18 .015 shims and 18 .030 shims
If you have stock heads the standard install height is 1.800
I would put a .015 and .030 shim in.
The shims go under the seat.
For more info about setting up that cam call Geoff at Thunder Race, he is the expert when it comes to the T-Rex.
