Default Is going from 100 to 125 gr bad for arrow flight?

I was shooting CX maxima 250's that with a 100 gr broadheadonly weighed around 320 total. Through some reading here on the forums I found that a hunting arrow should not be less than 400 gr. Well, in trying to get to that number I've switched to heavier CX terminator lite's that now weigh 366 totalwith a 100 gr BH. I asked the guy at the proshop if it would be ok if I went with a heavierBH and although he didn't have time to really get into it, he said it's fine unless I over do it.

Problem is, I don't know at what weight I would be "over doing it". So my question is, would putting 25 extra grains on the front of my arrow have detrimental affects on arrow flight or produce other problems such as imbalance? The arrow itself was cut to 28 inches if that helps your diagnosis any. Draw weight on my Hoytis 60# and drawlength is 27". Also, the physical end of the carbon arrow without a BH attached protrudes 3 inches passed my rest at full draw.
