What should I set my timing at on my chevy?

Ive heard that you can advance/retard your timing to give you more low end torque or more top end power. Which goes for which. for example does advance go with top end and retard go with low end or vice versa? I have a 350 TBI and I think the stock timing is 0 or 10 degrees BTDC I can't remember. But all I know is I advanced the timing to 12 degrees BTDC. Where should I set it for more low end power what would be the best for it retarding or advancing and to what degree? my engines stock with the exceptions of little things like cold air intake throttle body spacer high flow exhaust ect.
I knwo if you advance it too much or retard it too much it can cause it to burn up, I want a setting that is not too far over the edge but is better than stock. so in between stock and failure.
