Question should i bump timing?

here are my mods that matter:

BBK LONG TUBE HEADERS
BBK OFF ROAD X-PIPE
SPINTECH SIDE EXHAUST
75MM DRAGON THROTTLE BODY
75MM PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS INTAKE PLENUM
ACCEL COP'S
STOCK PLUGS
24# INJECTORS AND MAF FROM A COBRA - LIVEWIRE HAS THE OPTION FOR THESE
SCT LIVEWIRE - SET UP FOR PREMIUM BUT PUMP GAS ONLY GOES TO 91 IN OKLAHOMA

here are my questions should i put it on the 91 option or leave it on the premium option?
should i bump timing up from stock and if so what to?
going to the dyno for a couple pulls in a few hours so time is of the essence on this one.

thanks

Depend on how hot the is motor and out side temp.The cooler it is you can run more timing.

i would be careful i have been running the same setup for a while
and with a breenspeed tune
i changed the cam over the weekend and to my surprise i find out my plugs
where as white as baby powder the long tube lean out the motor real bad

so just check the plugs after a couple days or running it with the timing bumped up
