    non belivers!

    Skepticks,

    If you read the ad,I will agree with what they claim,"You will enjoy the same high performance level as you did before installing the module" It claims it will do nothing to your car

    It's the classic 'timing tricker' that had the F-body world all abuzz a few years back when the LS1 came out.

    You fool the computer into thinking there is more or less oxygen actually present in the intake air and the actual temperature. It seems part of the computer's management of timing and fuel delivery is based on the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, along with values from the MAF. I suppose this gives the computer an idea of the car's propensity to begin knocking, and it'll preadjust timing and fuel accordingly. What is done here is that you're fooling the computer by giving it a false temperature reading, and the computer acts accordingly.

    Whether this actually helped performance or not has been hotly debated in F-body (LS1) circles for years, and I lost track of what the score is currently. 22 rwhp? Holy cow, I think not. But then again, I have no clue how out-to-lunch the factory tables are to begin with (ie. are they so conservative that you actually gain 22 rwhp just by telling it that it's a bit cooler outside than it really is?)

    $50 US? I don't think so. If I was to invest in this type of experiment, I'd be using $0.50 resistors instead. Simple case of measuring the resistance at the sensor at some temperatures and then choosing a manual resistance.

    Careful. Adding this much power can void your warranty, despite what the guarantee says.

    Just like the $10 "CHIPS" the same people sell that are nothing more than .69¢ resistors...and work just like TooManyTransAms said: fooling the PCM into thinking the intake air is cooler than it is...

    only this one is now a VARIABLE resistor that costs well over a dollar...

    I guess too many people caught on to the first scam...

    Someone should come up with AC ducting to the airbox.

    On the surface, this sounds like a great idea, right? But you will not make any additional power. Besides, this proposal violates the second law of thermodynamics. If it would work, it would have been done by now.

    Theoretically speaking...IMHO, sensors deliver their message to the EEC by adjusting voltage, so, if you could manipulate that specific voltage, could you fool the EEC into reacting? As an example, if you change the voltage of an O2 sensor to show a lean condition, would the EEC respond with more fuel? Just wondering...
