Re: Timing
You should be more concerned with total timing than base timing...

Re: Timing
While it's not an exact answer to your original question, I do know that the factory heads like little to no advance at idle. I wouldn't expect that to change too wildly with the changes you have made, but then again, I'm no engine builder either.
When I played with the timing on my stock LO3 305 TBI back around '91 / '92, I pretty quickly discovered that 2 or 3* of advance may have provided a slight benefit (or I may have just convinced my self it did), anything more than that offered no reward at all.
Where do you have the timing set currently? Have you tried advancing it at all?
As mentioned above, checking with the gentlemen who provided the tune would be a good place to start with both the timing and fuel pressure questions.

Re: Timing
I have that same cam, engine and heads in a jeep. If I remember correctly it doesn't require any tuning modifications (from comp cams). I have 2* initial and runs great about 13-14 PSI fuel. I would think you will still need to tune it to get absolute best performance. But should run fine with stock tune.
