Take it to 18* .. you'll like it there ... just be aware the higher you go the less your head gasket likes it ... I was running 18* for 2 years w/ 370's 4/5 plate. <br><br>

Like Rammin said the higher you go the less your head gasket likes it. 16 to 16.5 is a big difference over stock, if you do your own work some guys are up into the 20's. 16 to 16.5 seems to be the norm and not overly aggressive.
