Trying to let the car launch hard, then pull timing out to hit the 10.90 mark.

It became much easier to run Super Street & Super Gas using a good throttle stop controller. I tried the manual limiter but if your trying to kill much et it creates a bunch of problems. I finally gave in a got a Dedenbear timer and air actuator on the linkage. Much more consistent and you can use it at either end.

Hey, Keith, I know you can change the start rpm, but I don't think you can change the timing, you can see what the timing is, but you can't change it

Very doable.

Tip: Leave your timing degrees the same, just move the curve in and out.

At 5 degrees, I've observed a 10:1 ratio

IE, putting timing in at 1.8 on one run and 2.5 on the other run, slowed the car 7 hunds. 7 tenths of timing was 7 hunds of ET. But that's in a very specific application. YMMV.
