15 degrees sounds a little high to me to but I'm no expert at this stuff, I had a that same camshaft in my 86 at one time and I swear I used to shift that thing at higher rpm's than 5500 and all I had was a set of 351w heads on it. I did use nitros from time to time so that's probably why I had my timing retarted but I would try doing at pass at 14 degrees and see how she runs.
