How far could I safely advance the timing?

I now have my 9000T set at 21degrees BTDC with spg9 RRFPR, bigger balance injectors, NGK BCP7EV plugs and the MSD BTM (of course there is more:). I can't believe how smooth it feels and sounds (quieter,,,and it's foggy outside),,,, and the response is real nice. I'm having no problems running 25psi in third 4th 5th as it stands now. So can I advance it further? I know I can trim the retard to accept the big boost, but was wondering at what point is too far. I have the BTM set around .45degrees/psi, maybe even less and no probs at all,,,hasn't detected knock yet. Maybe because I still have the RRFPR close to stock adjustment @ 2.8bar and temps are pretty cold here (low 40sF max and around freezing at night).
After driving that Buick (see post below), my boost will never feel the same:(
