What to set timing to with b303 cam?

Hey all! In my efforts to pass Tn emissions I set the timing on my mustang
from 14-15 back to the stock 10. The '88 msutang has a b303 cam in it and
1.5inch headers. I got to thinking about it, should I have set the timing
back to the stock 10 since I have the aftermarket cam? What is the
recomended timing setting that I should set it to. It also has 3.73 gears
if that makes any difference.

Did I actually worsen my emissions a little bit by having the cam+headers
and a stock timing of 10? I have also passed emissions so it doesn't matter
if I make the car worse for the environment until next year :-)

On a side note the person I bought the stang from lowered it by cutting the
springs. I bought 4 springs for $15 from Orielly and me and a buddy spent
all day trying to get one on the front. What a pain in the a__. I wen tto
autozone and rented their strut spring compressors but they were way to big,
I looked at their coil spring compressors and they were made to go inside
the spring which isnt going to work either. I may be stuck paying some shop
to put these things on for me.

Thanks,

put it back to 14-15, more HP.
screw emmissions. One school bus puts out 10,000 times more than your
stang.

Front springs are a bitch, takes 2 people, and all day.

Lol, yeah I don't care about the emissions either but I need to know which
is better. I'm going to bump it back up to 14 for now but in a year
emissions time will come again and I'm wondering which will get me the lower
readings? On a stock engine bumping it up to 14 would cause the HC to be
higher. However, with my b303 cam I wonder if having it at 10 would
actually make it worse than at 14.

That would be good to know. I do not know it.
