I believe I have noticed a pretty nice improvement with gas milage after installing the timing adjuster, am I on crack or is that one of the, per se, side effects of it?

As far as performance gains, once again, maybe I'm on crack but, I don't really notice a thing. Also, as far as I can tell, I have it at 15 degrees and I'm running 91 w/ no audible pinging. Besides a slightly negligable improvement in throttle response, I don't seem to notice the 7-10rwhp/tq that the butt dyno's out there have reported.

I noticed a much greater improvement in performance from the plenum/tb combo but, it "supposedly" only increases the hp/tq around the same range, correct?

Being at 260rwhp/302rwtq before the T/A, shouldn't that have crept me closer to the 270 hp range along with about 312 tq? Granted if the most power possible was achieved for this given application.

You're not going to feel 10 hp/tq.

havent noticed gas mileage being any better on my car. I felt a good increase in low in/throttle response, but I do agree plenum/tb made more power SOTP.

Well, after taking the car out tonight just to do some quick high rev runs, the car does seem to be a bit stronger on the top end with a little better response in throttle through out the band. Whether or not it's 10hp/tq, I don't know but, I'm still hoping I've crept closer to the 270/312 mark I'd like to hit.

And here I was wondering if he thought his torque arm increased mileage.
