Default Fuel and Glow plug advice

I just bought my Picco P7R Evo2 engine from murnan modification.

I am hoping this engine will be much more powerful and faster than my old Picco P7R-Evo stock engine. I will update the performance once I finish break-in and take here out to a local track.

I am waiting for it to come and have a question about proper fuel and glow plug.

I see that some people are running 30% nitro fuels but I also hear that it will be pushing the limit of engine and piston&sleeve will wear out faster than lower nitro fuel. I have been using 25% nitro fuels and wonder if I can 30% nitro fuel for my new engine.

My questions are...

1. What's the best matching glow plug for normal head Picco P7R Evo2 with 25% nitro fuel?
- McCoy MC-8, Picco Medium, OS A5. These are what I found good so far from forum.

2. Does 30% nitro fuel really result in damaging engine compared to 20% or 25% nitro fuel?
- If they are same, should colder plug be used together?

I hope this thread is helpful for everyone who is running or planning to run Picco P7R Evo2.

Thanks.
