Yeah...if you switch to a higher nitro content fuel, you may have to add a shim under the cooling head. This is usually the case, but not always. It is also a good idea to go throught the engine break process again when switching to a higher or lower nitro content. if you just use a different brand but same nitro percentage then its not necessary, but can't hurt it either.

I broke in my 3.3 engine with 20% after a gallon I switched to 30% shims under cooling head are stock I probably ran about 3 gals of 30% or more and now I'm using 33%
