Depends on what gas you want to run, what thermostat you run, and what chip you run.

It depends on the engine itself.

You could run more timing and it seem okay, but you could be knocking and the ECM pulling the same timing you added. You'd need a scan tool of some sorts to monitor that.

If it's stock, put it at 6-8deg BTDC and call it good.
