Exclamation Timing on TPI

I was wondering what people set their timing at on TPI motors. I think I am losing power because my timing is set at 0! Any input would be great.
Thanks
Donny

Your base timing from the factory should be set at something likt 6-8 degrees advanced!

If you want more advance its your call!

Ditto. Bump to 10* is a no-brainer on pump 92 octane with a stock chip. I've seen others go as high as 14*, but they were unique situations and couldn't apply to every car.
