Timing

hey everyone, ok so i just set my timing on my truck {1990 F250 460EFI} it had 0 degrees in it and when set to 10 degrees TDC it loved it alot and run really nice, can i set it to 12 or 14 and will this make any difference?

i see no problem with it, thats how i set my timing, by going back and forth 2 degrees at a time and see how it acts.... but my engine is much older and i dont know how different the ignition setup is....i have mine at 12 for normal driving, and i bump it up to 14 if i want some more juice at the expence of a little fuel mileage...

12 initial might be ok for street but I wouldnt recomend 14 except as a bump up at the strip then put it back.
