timing?

or you can crack the throttle a little bit also and it cost nothing unlike a crank retard box

Agreed that would work. If you have a High Compression engine and alot of initial or locked timing. You still may need/benefit from having the cranking retard feature. Most guys who have alot of time and money into their engines have a good ignition system that has this feature, "most of the time".
