SBC base timing

What do you run for base timing in a non stock 350?
The new motor is .30 over 10:1 pistons 650 cfm holley and a mild cam(
valve lift Int .420 exh .443
cam lift Int .280 Exh .295
duration 278 288\
hyd lifters (not roller) )

Some people say to advance timing until I pings and then back off 2 degrees, others say to use a vacuum gauge. I just don't want to run to advanced.
starts and runs well at 14 degrees .not enough? to much? points dist with working vacuum advance.
opinions?
