ignition timing 2.3t

What do you guys run with ignition time? Right now with the snout plugged in, im at 11-13 degrees. With my modifications, would it be better running more?

Set your base timing to 10-12 degrees with the spout OUT.  Put the spout back in and check to make sure the computer is advancing the timing.

I usually run about 10* with the spout out, and like John said check to make sure its advancing properly.
