yes, as long as you do not have any detonation (pinging) in the motor at wide open throttle 14*-15* is what i run at the track...here is an article that will help you. http://www.muscularmustangs.com/timing.php

I run mine at 14* during the winter and fall. But when it warms up I have to knock it down to 12* because it pings even with premium. And 10* is stock, coming from 8* to 14* you will feel a nice little jump. But make sure its not pinging.

You have to ask yourself why someone set it at 8* to begin with.

Good luck.
