We did the fuel transfer thing to the aft tank in the 70's in a Lear jet. You get level at FL410, set power for .82 mach, transfer fuel aft and bring back the power to maintain speed as speed increases, FREE SPEED.

Aft CG as everybody knows means the horizontal stabilizer doesn't have to push down as much because of the forward fuel.
