depends on what you're looking for, bottom or more over-rev, and also your riding style.
To me its a preference that suits how you like the power delivery.  I like to run mine a little advanced, while I believe Stewart likes it a little retarded.  Best bet is to start stock and then try at the first mark retarded, then the first mark advanced.  You will know what feels better and suits you style and riding conditions.

i think  the higher the compresion you run the better it works with  retarding the timing and the lower compresion you run the more advance you can stand to have , that  depends on the fuel your trying to run
