My best advice for you is get in the car, drive it, wrench it, drive it, wrench it, and find a comfort zone for what you're intending to do with the car.

I would not mess too much with timing unless you have access to a tuner/dyno. Once you do that, then find a happy medium (like mmuller said) to get the most horsepower AND torque.
