Default Advance Timing

How much should I advance my timing? All I have added is a #10 plate BHAF and straight piped.

You can run more then that and the gasket will hold just fine as long as you dont try and blow it running it cold or beating the fark out of it. Running 21º on our current truck with stock bolts and gasket and that truck is treated like a $50 hooker.

Did I say you should run 21º? No, just giving an example.
