Back in the late 60s, one of my frat bros had a 144 ci Ford Falcon with a 1-bbl. We made a “restrictor plate” of about a half inch diameter and slipped it under the carb.

Car ran perfect but only would go about 40mph. Eventually we had to tell him. I guess we were about two decades ahead of Nascar.
