timing

My 88 v6 camaro is sopped to be set at 10 degrees, that's what the sticker said. Another member suggested that I set it to 13 degrees. I set it to 13 and it runs alot better. Is 13 a safe setting? Is there another setting that I could see even more power?

10-13* is fine.
It 's just that after any engine gets alot of mines on it, the better it will run with more timing.
