Hey Tim,
Happy belated 3/17!
There=E2=80=99s a guy named Kas (can=E2=80=99t remember the last name) that d=
id some dyno tuning awhile back - he even wrote a book or two about it=F0=9F=
=A4=AA.
But in all seriousness, I=E2=80=99ve done mine by the (Comp Prep Manual) boo=
k. Base and total is easy but it takes a bunch of fiddling to get the =E2=80=
=9CKas curve=E2=80=9D. Has worked great but I=E2=80=99ll admit that I=E2=80=99=
ve never gone beyond that.

 has done any testing on a dyno with different advance curves.
