I reccomend buyin a datalogger and logging your stock ignition curve. otherwise, you could be retarding too early, toolate, too much, or too little for yoru application. when I first got my car together, I was retarding about 7 degrees of timign at 18 psi. car didn't make good power, wasnt' very strong, and I never could figur eit out..........until my datalogger told me I was gettin abotu 14 degrees of spark advance.....puttin my final spark advance at a whopping 7 degrees (that would be perfect if i was trying ot run 18 psi on 2 year old 73 octane gas......not that great for 93 octane). I stopped retarding timing, didn't get detonation, and made a good extra 40 hp after it was all said and done. My car is going to be different as I don't have an afc. it's best to borrow or buy someone's datalogger, make a full pass and see what your timing looks like. I woudl try to keep it at 17 degrees, and work up until you get detonation, then knock it back a few notches to be safe. that is how you will make the best power and not blow yoru engine up, or melt your exhaust valves.
