If it is an NA, you can get away with a few degrees advance on the base timing, but as arghx said, the correct and proper way to advance timing is with a standalone. Changing base timing has an effect at all speeds and all variables, which is less than desireable.
On the flip side, like I said, it can take a few degrees advance on the base timing. You'll have to readjust your idle as it will raise the idle some. Be careful.

Yeah, when i said a couple of degrees, i mean exactly that. It isn't really worth it if you ask me. 2-3 degrees of base timing advance won't do much, so I wouldn't personally fool with it. Going farther than that is risky business. It only takes a single detonation event or two to shatter an apex seal.
Verdict, don't do it. If you do, you won't see much improvement at all. Use your best judgement based on the information provided.
