If you're running the engine with no load, I don't think that detonation is a big problem, although others are welcome to disagree. I don't have a whole lot of experience with that situation. But the first time that you run it up on a dyno, I think that a little retarded is better than too advanced. I'm pretty sure that the key is to be in the right neighborhood though so that the engine will start and run.
