Engine wear from 20%-30% nitro?

[low10s]

i am going to switch from 20 to 30% odonnell(ws7II,in a mugen), is the engine wear increased a whole lot, i want the performance, but i like engine life too. i can tune good so i am not worried about that. thanks

Good question and I'm interested in the answer as well. Last summer I sent the wife out to get my usual 20% but came back with 30%. I never took it back and I still have it. My new LHS guy said I could get great benefits from jumping to 30%. He said it was easier to hold a tune running 30%. I know guys from the track claim the power difference is like night/day between the two. So, along with what I've added, I also would like to know the wear factors with going to 30%.
