Question Timing an EFI 460

I was reading about resetting the timing on these motors. It was suggested that after following the spout disconnect procedure to reset the timing to 10 degrees BTDC.

I can easily do this but on a stock 89 motor:

1. What is factory timing?
2. Is 10 degrees BTDC make the motor run better or is some other setting better?
3. Will the trucks computer accept a setting other than stock?

I believe all efi truck engine base timeing is 10 degrees. I know that some people advance it a little for performance efi engines.
