The new formulation can absorb more signal than tape of yesteryear. i.e. Maxell, TDK, Ampex, etc. Just make sure you set your record levels so that you're getting good saturation. I'd say +3db is still very safe.
The thing is, your older deck is likely calibrated for older formulations, so using your VU meters becomes a bit of trial and error.
Do you have a good tape degausser?
