well, on the springs on the H-M, It speeds up the ignition timing advance. What I mean by this is it does not change the degree of timing, it changes how fast the timing changes in the engine. Yes,, you pick up throttle responce by doing this. I have not tried this on the 6 cyl yet,, I installed the springs and rebuilt the dist, but have not ran the engine. It does work with the 4 cyl though. My theory on the dist springs is this,,,,, When you increase compression or change the engine to enhance performance,, the enginie will rev up faster,, everything needs to operate faster. Lets say by building a stroker, and dyno tune it, and just peak the HP without changine the internal parts,, like the governor spring, or carb jets, etc,, and leave it stock,, yes the engine will be stronger, but will still operate in a stock mannor,, usually slow and sluggish on throttle responce, If you change the internal structure of the engine, why not modify the engine controls as well? That is why when I dyno tune an engine,, I keep finding all this "Magic" Horsepower,, I change, and set up the engine not to run in a stock mannor, Most people belive that a carb will solve all of their problems, That is ok to a certain extent. But like I said,, why stop at the carb when building a puller?? The ignition is just as important to modify, as a carb or strokers. Every little bit of modifications help!!! Don't be afraid to test and tune.. I learned this when building engines, and drag racing. I hope this helps any one who reads it,, Chad
