Default Broadhead size/wt.

Hi people, yes I'm new on here and to the world of crossbows, I shoot compound normally but want to take up the crossbow during the late archery season here in Indiana
Icurrently shoot the new 2008 Barnett Revolution AVI, 160lbs.,345fps. w/100gr. slick tricks
I was wondering about broadhead weight on my bolts if I add a homemade lighted nock. heres what ive came up with for bolt weight...
Easton carbon power bolt @ 22" = 231gr.
moon nock = 12gr.
aluminum insert = 43gr.
light insert = 20gr.
duravanes 4" x 3 = 24gr.
This comes out to 330gr. + 100gr BH = 430gr.
or 330gr. = 125gr. = 455gr.
should I shoot a heavier bh due to adding more weight on the back of shaft?

PS. yes this CB is quite by CB standards.
(shot a few kinds and read the reviews)
