What should my timing be after a 350 swap?

Over the summer, I dropped a 350 with big lobe cam in my 86 TA.

it's TPI and has the following things done to it:
custom LEVEL IV TPIS PROM
110 LS CAM
AFPR set at 48 psi
ACCEL SUPER COIL
MSD 8.8MM wires
BOSCH Platinum plugs
RAM AIR
TRUE DUAL EXHAUST


What should I set the timing to?? right now, it's at 6 BTDC. It runs fine but Would it run better at a different setting?

Car: yep
Engine: uhuh
Transmission: sure does
I would bump it up to 10 and see how it runs.....

Might want to give the chip mgf. a call and see what they suggest.

I run my 400 at 12.
