Speaking of Timing...

How do I know how much I should advance the base timing? I'm assuming as long as she runs good and it make more power it's OK?

Nothing wrong with setting your timing by "as long as she runs good" method, but here is the next step: http://www.chevyhiperformance.com/howto/97438/

I started with the base timing as indicated on the firewall and then adjusted the weights and springs to get the correct timing, up to 36 degrees, in by 3000 rpm. Of course this is small block specs.
