If I don't have a boost controller for my 93 LX 5.0 and I am going to run my Vortech V1 blower, what timing should I set the engine at?

I was thinking 17degrees...

Should I lock it out at 17?

Set it at 10° initial and adjust it with a tune.

Vortech timing

Do you have a boost/ignition retard module?
