Default Is it a bad to run more fuel?

I am headed to the track tomorrow. I am currently running a nx wet single 150shot, the car is tuned for the 150 shot backed with a walbro 255 fuel pump. But I want to change the jets to a 200 shot at the track, So I filled the car with 100 octane. I did alot of searching for the correct jet sizing. My problem is I am not sure about my fuel pressure at wot. but I have found some jet sizes, But I found to diff. sizes for the fuel jet, the sizes are below.

n20---------------.072
fuel---------------.038 and .040

Since I do not have the timming lowered, I figured I would run the .040 fuel jet. But If it is to much fuel can that hurt or hinder anything.

Please help!!

it may slow you down just a tad....but hell..if you were lean AT all...you may pick up some. Either way I dont think you will hurt anything. Especially running the 100 octane....good idea!
Make a pass with the .038 and then do one with the .040 and see what faster.

being to rich will really kill the power and being to lean burns up parts. A properly tuned 150hp shot will probably smoke a to rich 200 shot
