Reminds me of the dual point distributor mods that permitted turning off the one set of points, so as to retard the timing.

But, if an engine makes the most power with say, 35*; how could it run better with 50*?
Especially if the stall speed is what? 5000? 5500? I mean maybe it will make more torque at low rpm's, maybe. But it never spends time there and the convertor won't allow it to.

Just thinking out loud. I had this idea for a car years ago. (Over advancing.) We never tried it because we "bench raced" past it. (And had another beer, but thats another story.)
