Adjusting timing

Hey i was wondering how u adjust the timming on a 3.0 never done it and was thinking i might need an adjustment. Also if i turn the screw on the tb to get the rpms up and get the motor to run better, is that bad?

I think if you tried to set the timing advanced or as they call it retarded the truck would not run right at all you would need to recalibrate the computer
