I've always setup my street cars with total amount of 34 to 38
and
I've always setup the curve so it is all in by 2500
Aggressive ... Yes ... High Octane Required ... Yes
Been using that method W A Y back there

A bunch of years before there was ever a pcm involved
We used to use only one spring in the mechanical dizzy
or
If we could find em ... soft springs bought from some speed shop
Of course ... The idea was to get the advance to be quicker
Now ... When I got my little 95GT
I found when the E7 heads were stock
and
The pcm was untouched
All I could go up on the dizzy was about 4 to 6 before ping which
would have been about 29 to 31 total advance
I'd bet you'd do well to do it like we did back in the good ole days
As for drag racing ... No Different Really
I mean if you are serious about it ...
Ya ain't gonna let the rpm's fall below 2500 ... Are Ya
