The MSD manual shows the timing curve for each pill. Pick one that looks like what you want as a starting baseline. Generally the higher the pill number the more timing they have at lower RPM
I'll tell you right now if you ask which pill to start with from 6 different guys you will get 6 different answers. What they will all agree on is to set up your own curve using a laptop. Easy to do once you get the laptop talking to the box correctly. But for initial start just try one of the pills and get your carb close first.
If you look at the stickies there are lots of carb set ups (jets, nozzles sizes, etc) and timing curves posted.
