@one234569and10 says:

MAYBE, it would be good to say what version and year of car you are working on.

@landonkaough5193 says:

“ what if it already adjusted?” Well leave it alone.

@francishamill8378 says:

The mark on the crank will still be the same relitive to the cams ??
So what will the cam sensor have to say about that ??

Per the spec rules? I may sound ignorant as hell but where does this so called spec rules come from? Cause I'm pretty sure that's not coming from all data, prodemand, identifix etc.

@stuartkillian6195 says:

I saw this on their long form video as well, the modification they're performing here is illegal per class rules. Timing advancement on the NB chassis cars is done as followed and only by this rule.

"13.4.3 For 1999-2005 model years only, it is permitted to alter the ignition timing by elongating the mounting holes of the crankshaft position sensor trigger wheel"

It says you can elongate the mounting holes of the trigger wheel but not the holes on the sensor.

Im surprised there isn't an adjustable sensor you can get…

@perjian1697 says:

There is also the mazda motorsports adjustable timing wheel for the nb miatas

Yo siempre hago eso con mis coches la computadora no se da cuenta jaja a menos que el coche este equipado con sensores de árbol de levas pero los coches viejitos bien que se puede

@matthowell8985 says:

Does this work across the generations na through nd?

@HorseJizzTim says:

thought this was powernation not ricenation.

@MrBlackbutang says:

Ford always does something goofy!

@hippiemiller says:

Put a small block Ford in it then you can adjust timing easy

@williammartel9415 says:

Just an FYI 2.5 mm is .098"
1.5 mm is .059"
Big difference in somethings not in others, you be the judge

@solracpeanut78 says:

Good way to get some advance I would recommend replacing the cam sensor also
