Use or don't use vacuum advance on distributor???????????????????

It currently is set so it has to be damn near wide open before the secondaries kick in. It actually runs better when I open it wide open. I have a friend who was helping me tune it that races circle track cars and runs these carbs on them. He thought it felt like I was running out of timing. But when I set it currently I have 15 degrees initial timing with a final of 32 with no vacuum advance.

Your tuner could be correct. My build likes 35+ advance but it pulls strong through the entire range. I am running 20 initial and can get it to 40 at 4500 RPM. I am running a small vac secondary carb and the biggest tuning issue I had was getting the fuel so it was leaned out to the correct A/F ratio. Rich mixture does a lot of bad stuff.
