i'm using werks 30% with great results.
i added 1 extra head shim on both trucks and using hot plugs.
they both idle nice and steady with great power.

using a short plug is like adding a head shim , just not the best way to add combustion chamber volume 
use an odonnel 77 or mccoy mc8 and a head shim to your engine !!! the b3 must not be shimmed for running 30% from the factory .

Personally I dont break my engines in with 30%. The way I would do it is break it in with byrons gen 2 20% then finish the gallon of 20% on the track. When the gallon is gone swich to 30%, shim engine and retune. I like the idea of having the higher oil content for the first gallon is why I do it but to be honest who knows if it helps or not? Just my opinion.
Hope this helps.
oh yeah byrons gen 2 is definately the fuel to run if they have it in your area.

Ummmm... nitro content and oil content are unrelated. For example., Sidewinder 30% has 3 different types with different oil content. I run the 30% worlds blend, which I believe is 11%. The Pro Race blend is 10%. There is also a 12% oil version of the 30% nitro Sidewinder.
More oil will (believe it or not) raise the temps. I've had great success with the Sidewinder Worlds Blend 30% with 11% oil... I have 5.5 gallons on my Werks B7 Pro with zero issues.

I've read to use a hot plug for break in.....Its normal to go through a plug or two during break in.... Use your racing fuel always.... Make for sure you have no air leaks......If its the newer alum carb, be very careful tightening the retainer nut if you do....It will collapse the throat of the carb.....Recheck the head screws for torque now & then...I always pre heat the motor & loosen the plug just a bit to get her going then tighten. I'm breaking in a new B3pro. its VERY tight! Great thread!
