performance curve distributor

Yep, I am not worried about gas mileage, I want the best performance, and I still want descent street manners. Now about this home recurving......How do I do it right? I don't have a distributor machine, I do have a descent timing light though. Is there any site that gives any tech info on recurving? Should I just recurve my cheepo autozone vacuum advance or go for the msd mechanical and start with that?
