yes, your base timing should already be at 10*btdc with spout connector removed. you can go up to 12* safely. anymore will require some testing to see if the motor pings or not with a load on it. so if you want more then 12 only move up in .5 at a time.
remember to remove spout connecter when you do this otherwise it wont work properly. get a haynes manual to help with this process

it will be noticeable but not sure how much hp you would gain. maybe 1hp. what you get is better throttle response and quicker pickup and go feel
