Default re-curve kits

Guys,

Anyone utilized the distributor re-curve kit, with the different springs and weights on thier driver type car? Can someone talk about how it works, and what results can a guy expect from the different changes you can make with the kit?

You may want to read this before you degrade your engines ignition system?

I hadn't seen that article before, but it exactly matches my experiences: The weights and center pieces of commercially-available recurve kits are junk. Scrapmetal. Some of the springs might be useful.

If I had any business sense, I'd make a re-curve kit that actually worked.
