If your asking if fuel pressure is affected by your timing, then no it isn't. Some engines can take more timing than others though, I know mine, when it was stock didn't like anything (ping) over 12, but I have friends who could run as high as 16-17. All with premium fuel of course.

I run 14 with 87 octane, but i have different heads with a larger cc, my old e7's needed premium fuel with even 13-14....
fuel pressure doesnt change unless you change it at the regulator, if it's stock, it will be at 38-39 psi with the vacuum off.
