You just need to re-tune and you'll be fine. One thing you shouldn't do though is step back and forth or run the higher for a while and then go back to 20%. They say more engine wear with 30% but these tend to run better, more power and cooler with 30%.

Word is that you can step up from 20% to 30%, but never step down. Like he said, not healthy for an engine.
