Default Advance Timing Help

Hello all, I was recently thinking about advancing my timing and am seeking recommendations. The only thing that concerns me is drive pressure and blowing A headgasket. I am running II 370 Marines, II silver bullet 64 turbo, Fass 125, 4K Springs, 5 Inch afe Intake, FF star wheel, no plate, and AFC slid full forward. Was thinking of going with 18° timing. Any suggestions and recommendations are welcome. Just looking for good insight before I do It.

Yeah I know at this point it's probably A matter of when, not If . I don't expect to get something for nothing but if I can advance it enough to cool the EGTs down and make it run a little better and clean it up some I would like to. I RARELY ever run over 45 Lbs of boost when I'm hammering on it which isn't regularly. Don't like to beat my stuff but I like knowing it's there.

well if your tired off the poor street manners install a fuel plate tune the afs and consider a bette set of injectors. timing id to your preference. i personally dont recommend over 20* on stock bolts.
