The optimal timing depends on your particular setup, especially the cam. Almost any SBC combo works well between 32-36 degrees total timing. You just have to experiment to find what works best for your particular combo. I'm guessing this is a fairly mild street engine, I would try 10-12 degrees initial timing and 34 total..thats a good starting point.
