What you want to maxuim timing and max boost.
I think Scottie is partial right, Yes you want max boost with less timing specially on pump gas, and have enough intercooler to cool the hotter intake temp and if you have enough fuel to support the boost level. Yet if you out of injectors, IC, or turbo, then timing will help alot. My case, I was out of the stock injectors so I added timing, plus with timing too low, it runs like crap. The power band got really jaggy. Stock ECU got real safe timing setting (Z31 ECU) with more timing, it smooth the curve up. Also timing can kill engine just as fast as running high boost.
