I'd start at 12* and work from there. Sounds like a lot but beleive me, you don't want to screw up with that much giggle gas passing through the motor.

If you're doing this on pump gas my recommendation would be: DON'T. I don't care how much you retard timing you ain't gonna run pump gas + 250HP worth of nitrous through an 11:1 motor without it going BOOM! I've seen people try. It ain't pretty.
