Advanced Timing

Hi guys, I am going to change my timing belt sooner and I was planning on putting a lot of upgrades and tweaks to my system. One thing that has came to my mind was the Advanced timing on the SOHC, could some one please tell me what is the best setting for my system that could yields the best fuel economy and performances? I think my ignition timing mark on the crankshaft pulley is at 15 degree right now. But I am not sure, I am kinda new to this trick. Any advices would be greatly appreciated, such as pro and cons, etc... I have always been using 93 octane gases and I would like to gain the best out of my max. Thanks.

20 degrees is usualy the max that people go the pros it makes your car faster, cons none to my knolledge as long as you dont go over that point and have a working detonation sensor

so, if I were to set it at 18 degrees, would I consume more gases than I would normally at 15?
