You've adjusted the timing in the correct fashion.

There are a couple other things you can do to make the kit a bit safer. Things like a window switch, fuel pressure safety switch, wide open throttle switch, swap to a cooler plug, etc...

125 is not too much for your stock engine assuming everything is in proper working condition, but that doesn't mean your invincible. A 50 shot done wrong can blow up your motor, so just do your homework and stay safe.
