I know its tough to tell a whole lot of difference but if you look on each video my rpm gauge starts to move at about 2 seconds in. With the module I hit 60 mph right as it hits 12 seconds. Without it I hit 60 right around 13-14 second. I even used my stopwatch and found about a 1 second difference. Of course I know each run wasn't exactly the same but just some food for thought.

Sorry had to edit because embedding didnt work =)
I appreciate that you at least had the sack to do a video!! But from my calculations on your videos, I got your 0 to 60 times both being exactly 10 seconds. That is with a CAI, and the temps there in Idaho have to be freezing cold to help with air density as well! My old man lives in Couer de Alene! Thanks again for the video, not sure if there is any difference with the manual transmission, but from your video, I have decided against getting the timing module at this point until someone has better results!

What I'm seeing here is that with the Timing Module you rev the car to 6K and it's still pushing instead of the 5.5K for the first video, at least in the video that's what happened

Yeah but if you notice at the top of 3rd I actually govern out for a little bit with the timing mod vid so I wasted some time. I definitely notice the difference. You have to keep in mind that there are hills around here, wind, and I'm trying to drive and film.

Seems like the Timing module has the same "effect" as the Light weight pulley. It is not a real noticeable difference, but helps the motor get to higher RPM's quicker?! COrrect me if I am wrong.

Yeah you have to realize though that there are a lot of variables in these videos. You've seen the dyno sheets. I'm sure those are quite a bit more accurate than my videos. I thought about getting my ride dynoed but I don't see any reason to fork out 50$ right now to do that.
