Stock everything, About 1/8" on teh factory marks. Maybe a little less if you tow heavy.

As long as your stock everything, I'd seriously doubt that you could hurt anything.

Advanced timing is going to increase cylinder pressures and put more heat into the piston; it makes a given amount of boost more likely to pop a gasket and it makes a certain EGT more likely to melt a headgasket. If you're only pushing 20 PSI and 1000 degrees in the first place, advanced timing is going to result in severe power loss and acceleration lag before it hurts anything.
