For a cheap way to slow down (from 8.90s to 10.0) I made a mech throttle stop but sliding the throttle cable will work also.. but I wanted to run 2 classes so I made the stop which I could put on and take off in less than a minute... plus lower the launch RPM as well as the shift RPM... if you HAVE a smaller carb that works also.. it takes a lot of timing to slow them much

Moroso makes a throttle stop which is really a bolt and bracket that bolts to the rear carb bolt. I have been using a modified one for years to slow my mid 10 second car down to 11.50s and it works great. A word of advice : the original design of the bracket only uses one bolt to hold it and it can move. I bought a Jegs throttle cable bracket and drilled an additional hole in the throttle stop bracket so now there are two bolts holding it and it can`t move.

Just disconnect the secondaries, that should do it.

Disconnecting the secondaries would work, pull a few degrees of timing would work, shift early would work, restrictive air cleaner would work..... FWIW, I successfully slowed my car from 10.7's to 12.0 last year using all of the stuff listed above...plus I launched the car in second gear.
