8hp to 9.9hp conversion?

I have a 2011 Mercury 8hp four stroke. I have read that I can change the carb's main nozzle, pilot jet, main jet, plug, and prop, and it will be the same as a 9.9hp. However, I have no idea what to order. Does anyone have any pointers? Is this possible? Any idea on the part numbers?

Also, I found that I could order this carburetor. It is the replacement carb for the 9.9hp. It does, though, look to be a non OEM model from China? Any experience with a carb from this manufacturer?
 
Ayuh,.... 1 horsepower is not worth trashin' an Oem outboard motor,..... it'll be unnoticeable,...

I hear you. Unfortunately/fortunately, I like to tinker. Do you think I would be better to order the Chinese carb, or OEM jet, nozzles, and plug? The entire carb is actually cheaper.
