Default Timing on 408 Turbo

I have a LQ4 408,TEA stage 3 heads,CSU 750,Twin MP T-70s and a MSD 6010. Can someone tell me where to start the timing at? Also how much to remove per #?

Jeff Hartman's excellent book 'Tuning and Modifying Engine Management Systems' has a chapter on EFI tuning that takes you through a tune from first startup through a safe tune, and specifically addresses timing and a safe sequence to get you to optimum.

I'm fuel infected running gas, I don't think I can help you. Start low and work your way up slow.
