Default Settings for pump timing question.

It has been a while since I have messed with this car. I had given it to my son a year or so ago and he being young and hard headed drove it with a coolant leak. When I first built it I was unable to find a metal layered head gasket. Anyway he blew the gasket. I now have it back together to the point of setting the pump timing. I remember I think that here stated that 1.05mm was a good performance setting with no problems for the engine. I was thinking 1.00 would be a good setting for a little more pep. Anyone??
