Fuel timing how much is too much?

Guys I've been wanting to increase my fuel timing for a while now. I have a fairly well bombed 12v and I'm reving up-wards to 4000 rpm's. Now my timing is at 18 deg's, and I want to go to 24 deg's. The only thing is, this is my daily driver and from what I have gathered over 20 deg's can take out head gaskets. Can you guys stir me in the right direction? Thanks guys.
