Advancing Timing

How do you advace the timing in an 86 GT.
What should the stock timing be set at?
How far advanced can I go?
What difference does changing the timing either way make? Pros/Cons
Thanks
Mike

Your gonna have to run a bit higher octane fuel. You'll get a few ponies squeezed out by bumpin the timing, and its free, so go for it.
