I'm running a Go B21 with an OS P3. Right now I've been running O'Donnells 20%. I'm looking at switching to Byron's or Sidewinder 30% as that's what my LHS carries.
What differences will I see? I know I'll need to retune, but will I need to change my glow plug?
Thanks.

You may need to re-shim the head button. Not all engines come shimmed for 30% Nitro. Check with a GO-PRO to be sure. Glow plug change not required. You will see increased Power and more constant idle at the sacrifice of some run time

No need for the . 2mm run in shim.
Standard shimming is . 5mm.
Normally 1x . 3 alloy and 1x . 2 copper.
Older motors may have the alloy shim and 2x . 1mm shims instead.
Run a medium plug like the Ok 97T or Werks #6 for best results on 30%.
The GO motors love the higher nitro content.
You will notice a huge difference from the 20% you have been running.
Go with the Byron's fuel - 30 / 9 if you can get it.
