I used to adjust timing while accelerating @WOT - just reach down and turn the distributor! Can get to the max advance setting quickly this way.

Had to drill out the secondary accelerator pump squirters to .046 to get a bog-free launch, since it was so heavy. It hooked up very well due to high CG = ultra tire plant&weight transfer.
