Timing recomendations

Wondering if anyone could help reccomend what to set my timing to. For mods I have BD towing twins, ddp4 injectors, fass 95/180, head oringed and studs, 181 dvs(thinking of switchin to ddps) 215 IP, SB Dual Disk nv 4500, 3k GSk (Will be switching to 4K soon)

I do a decent amount of towing with the truck (10k+) Other than that the truck is used as a weekend driver as iv been using my 93 as a Daily driver. Had timing set to 16.5 last time but wondering if I should change it since my pump will be coming off my motor to paint it, and ill be resetting it anyways.

What do you recommend for a good all around timing? To go with my mods.

I like 18* on my truck. If you start to go higher the DDPs start spraying out of the bowl.

I'm in for thirds
Probably giving up a bit of hp but 18* on my 215 pump is real nice for a DD

thanks for the suggestions will probably set it around 18. Higher timing gives more HP but at higher rpms and the bottom end would suffer correct?
