A .6 disparity between your Racelogic and simply timing the tach and listening to the motor is unusual. I'd say the Racelogic isn't configured well or just not working right, imo.

My method may not be technological, but it seems more consistent.

As far as what you'll gain from mods. K&N filters won't gain you crap. They're just filters. An exhaust you'll feel, but no one can tell you what it'll do to these times - most people measure changes in dynos and 1/4 trackers. But the most important piece of the mod puzzle is the stock cats and an ECU tune which you'll feel the most.
I wouldn't say that filters don't do anything - lots of people have had a few horsepower gains with drop ins. Coupled with silicone post MAF tubes, they're just a few horsepower shy of an aftermarket CAI.
