The vacuum advancer is setup more for economy street use and properly dialed in should be great for the strip too. I think mechanical is more consistent which is what you may be looking for on the dragstrip (unless you have hills and other inconsistencies on the dragstrip).
I have no idea about conversion to and fro, however.
