You will need a new string and re set the nocking point. Your brace height will increase-1/4 to 1/2 inch. You will need to retune your arrows and find the new brace height-let the bow tell you. You may get an increase in performance-longer limbs store more energy.

Bjorn got it right.  In addition, I think you are going to find the bow feels smoother on the draw and your shooting may actually improve.  Longer limbs (for me at least) are more forgiving of the small form errors most of us have.
