it will run a lot smoother. with the mods you have you would be happy with like 16* i think. as you increase fuel (if you plan on doing that) you can increase the timing more as you see fit. the stock timing on these trucks are known to slip because of poor torquing from the factory. when you start the truck cold and it breaks down if you rev it about about 1300 ( starts to cut out sharply) then it needs to be re timed anyway.
