From what I heard, a guy with a01GT gained 3 rwhp and lost 1 lb of torque. Not worth it to me.

I knocked off 2 tenths with pulleys and a TA. You have to be carfull when you set the timing, if you give it to much you will loose torque. When I dynoed, my timing was at 14 and then I bumped it to 16 I lost .5 lbs. So I have mine set to 14. I notice a big difference in torque when I go from 10 to 14 degrees of timing. Feels like a different car. If your gonna stay NA and use a speed cal for gears and your not gonna do any mods that will require a custom chip. Then I would get the TA and Pulleys at the same time.
