Perfect Ignition Timing for Street Use ?
My 455 is worked - Ran 11.05 12 years ago
Not sure if that matters
but it is borderline street / strip
I want to adjust the timing so it has the best drivabilty
I have the MSD Boost retard installed so I can always increase the timing
What should I set the timing at for normal street driven ?

That is like asking what is the best way to keep a gurl's attention. 
They are all different and you have to find the best for yours!
Everything comes into play. Compression ratio, vacuum advance, mechanical advance speed and amount, driving climate and temperature, even fuel mixture. Find the point where you get good solid power without detonation and start there. If it is going to be 100% street driven from now on, you might need to tailor the ignition curve to that application. I'm sure CopperCutlass will have lots of info on this topic as well and many others.
