Too good to be true?

Anybody tried these things?

This may be a variable resistor...if you unplugged the Air Intake Temperature
sensor and plug in a heavy duty resistor < of what value, I dunno > it tells the
ECM that there is cold air going into the manifold. ECM adjusts, you get more horsies and drink more push-oh-leen. So says the theory...Oh, your timing is advanced also...

Just look at the "dyno" graph.

"Lights and Things" WTH is that?

206 RWHP baseline? If that dyno was on a Marauder, I'm David Copperfield. Let's see what else I can pull out of my a.... Nevermind.

These were discussed at length on CVN from people "not in the know" posting about them. All they are are $.05 resistors from Radio Shack, etc. that fool your car into thinking there's colder air coming in. The result is more fuel, and a negligible amount of power. People were told time and time again that these are NOT a good idea. I would stay away from anyone selling these as a viable modification. Do yourself a favor and save the money for a real tuner from one of our sponsors. You'll be glad that you did.

Save your cash and get a Superchips tuner, you won't regret it .
