  it doesn't. unless u tune it of course. in the wrong hands, can spell worse performance and even blow an engine.
  
  y use ITC? nowadays, so many affordable programmeable ecus and chips to suit every car application. ITC out of date liao lah.

  I recommend installing a piggy back ECU.More functions.More value for money. Unichip is one of the best I've seen. If you're on budget, you can go for the Apexi SAFC.

  this combo worked well in the days when there were little programmable systems available for most road going cars. it still works i suppose, but the downside is the ITC can only tune certain "bands" of rpm and not individual load/ throttle positions. ie, it will either advance or retard all the timing in that particular rpm range by a certain percentage. it may be good for full throttle operations at certain rpms, but kills ur engine by pre-detonation at part throttle loads. something easily overcome by doing a re-chip or some cheap management system.

  i jus installed my ITC n dynoed it.there was an increase of 5bhp at wheels.there was also slight improvement at the low end.

  5 horses @ the wheels is roughly 7-8 horses gained at the crank. not too shabby for a hundred dollar upgrade. best of all, u felt an improvement in the low range, should make for an overall more enjoyable drive. results typically expected of ignition timing tweaks.
