Whats the best timing to set it at?

I wana know how far should i advance the timing to squeeze a little more power out of it? It was reset after being 4* retarded back to 6*... i wana maybe take it to 10* or 12*... whats the farthest you can take it before the computer starts pulling it back? Whats the best that you guys have found? thanks
Alex

Yeah 8* should work all right for you, but you'll know right away if the car doesn't like it. I have mine set at 10* and it loves it there...

The best way to set it is to hook it up to a laptop and just advance til it starts to knock then back it off.
