Mike.. where did you get the bracket? and did it already have a hole for the threaded rod, or did you have to modify it?
I made the whole thing... a piece of flat stock that
I bent 90*, contoured it, welded a 1/4x20 nut to it at
the angle I needed and a piece of 1/4x20 threaded rod...
and a piece of round stock I had that fit the hole
that I welded on so its nice and stable
took all of about 1 1/2 hours from design to done
and working

Blocking the secondaries will work (duh!), but its' a bit dangerous.
If the engine is big enough, the high vacuum in the primaries will shut the power valve.

Might - but "Dangerous" - I doubt - you been hanging around too many attorneys!!!
The engine may lean down some - my experience doing this is you normally have to take the jets up by two and bring the timing back a little and watch your plugs. The advantage to taking out the secondaries is you get the full pump shot at launch versus running partial throttle against a stop

The 2010 track champion at acto,cecil,and I think raceway park in 10.0 index runs with his secondarys disconnected. He takes off a half second by doing this and pulling timing.

I never had any issue on the pump shot... its getting
2... 1/2 volume shots but takes in alot less air so
to me that was a wash
