You have the right thought. As you start to adjust the timing, you will add 5* and notice about a 1 amp increase. You will then reach a point where you add 1* and you'll see a 1 amp increase. You want to stop at the point just before you see that amp jump. From what I've seen, you'll want to stop when your amp draw is around 5.5 amps, but no more than 6 amps.
