Default switch nitro %

i know this has been asked before i searched as always found conflicting answers lol. i have an rc8t with the stock ae pro. 28 ran about a gallon and half of sidewinder backyard basher 20 & nitro 16 % oil had it left over so that what i used to break it in and the burned the gallon amd a half up. im getting hooked on racing so i do plan on upgrading my motor, but in the mean time is it ok to switch the sidewinder 30 % team strike idk how much oit is in it heard 8-9% someone even said its lower. consider i tune it correctly will it affect anything? engin life engin tuning ? so far its been real easy to tune, thanks in advanced for your help

More nitro, colder plug. Less nitro, hotter plug.
