Timing curves

Consider a situation where initial timing is advanced a pretty good bit due to cammage and the setup of mechanical advance to take that into account.

With a 'normal' setup as example, you might have 10ºBTDC set for initial timing with mechanical starting in the low-teens-RPM somewhere...call it 1200rpm. If initial timing is set to 20ºBTDC should the centrifugal be sprung to start at a higher RPM, or should the mechanical curve START be at the same place it was? I don't see how the...
