I have always had the infamous tach bounce, it just reads a little higher now... I don't know this for sure since I am no expert, but in combo with the engine braking issue, it seems to make more sense to me that the needle shims have something to do with it.

I can still engine brake, it just provides less braking power. I used to drop a single gear at a time to prevent the rear from sliding or my torso from being violently flung forward, but now I have to drop 2 gears at a time to get significant braking power (to brake, not slide or fly).
