One thing is something I was doing with my old Jr Stock ‘56. Running more timing in low & second gear. Something Jere Stahl put me onto over twenty years ago. I now run different timing in each gear. Easy 5 hundredths there. Jere told me he and Bill Jenkins had done that for years. Used to do it with our old dual point distributors & a toggle switch. “Turn on” the second set of points to retard the timing. I had re-drilled the breaker plate in my ‘56 Corvette distributor to move that one set of points to adjust the amount of retard. Spent most of a day on my Sun “distributor machine” working that deal out. Had the toggle switch mounted where my Hurst shifter tripped it going to high gear. I was much younger then, could usually remember to flip the switch back on the return road. LOL My FAST ECU does it all for me now. I do have a toggle switch now that shuts that function off, to help slow the car down when I don’t need it. The FAST XFI ECU can hold 5 “tunes”, I just use two.
