Default new distributer and cam gear??

last night i put in a new distributer because i had no spark whats so ever. I bought a new one put it in and it started up great. I also installed a adjustable skunk2 cam gear, im wondering how or what is the best way to set my timing for my setup?

mini-me swap w/ built head (stock cam)
t3/t4 turbo
dsm 450cc w/ resistors
skunk2 cam gear

does boosted motors like advanced timing or does it have to be a bit retard?

btw im getting tuned sometime next week once everything is working properly
is it better to get dynoed or street tuned?

nope.
put it in the middle. drive like an old lady to the tuner, and have him set it before he tunes it.
