Timing on a 396 eng

I know this has been ask before but I will ask it anyway.My service manaul says to set the timing 4 degrees BTDC ( 396 auto) at 500 RPM. But when I set it at 4 degrees it is very slow on pickup, and don't want to go. I set it 8 degrees and it runs much better, and has better pick up. Can anyone tell me what is correct for a 396 inch with a auto.
