Default "locked out" advance timing?

I have a question about locking out the advance in my dizzy. My engine builder, who I have a lot of respect for, has locked out my advance in my MSD dizzy. What that means is that I have no advance in the dizzy. The timing is set at 36 deg. at intial and WOT. It seems to run nice in the garage(haven't driven it yet). I am running a 7.5 in carbon fiber triple disk clutch with tilton ultra light flywheel and starter. It turns the motor over with very little effort. Are there side effects of locking out your advance? I know this is done on race cars a lot. I was looking for some pro's and con's.
