Depends on how much boost your runing.
6-10psi .034 is fine.....20+psi your going to want to run about .028
My understaning is that you want to run as much gap as you can without the boost blowing the spark out.

.028-.032 is good for almost any car.

You should be fine with stock timing, but you could retard it about 2 degree just to be safe.
