Vacuum advance issue

I stated back in post #42 that DV used manifold vacuum [ MVA ] not ported on his race car.
There is no reason NOT to use MVA on a drag car if it is beneficial on that combo.
I agree. It's all about what a particular combo responds to. I try not to box myself in by old hot rod adages. I'll try it and if it doesn't work, then I scrap it.
