Not Enough Timing?

I just had my truck timed (finally) and it idles a lot smoother, but it still white smokes a lot after startup and whenever you pull away from a stop light or after sitting for 2-3 minutes. I think it was timed to factory specs, even though I wanted to go to about 16-16.5. Does it need more?

The next time you time it make sure the shaft is clean before installing everything and put a new lock washer on it.....there just a few dollars. I will usually only reuse them once depending on how they look.
