Default P5X shims

I run a 2005 batch P5X with a standard plug and wanted to go up to 30% from 25%. It has what ever shims it came with from the factory my question is will it need reshimming and if so by how much? The engine has about 3 gallons through it tops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

you could add a .10mm shim if it still has quite a bit of compression , if it is kind of soft and does not hold up to the flop test then leave shimming as is .

How is the stock plus-4 shimmed? Is it ready for 30% out of the box?

Does it means 0,8 mm clearance from TDC to the combustion chamber, or is it the total shim thickness?
