anybody ever gotten one, waste of $20? supposedly 5-7hp gain?

gyrene2003

has anybody even bought one before?

I say its a waste of money its like the resistor mod it suppose to trick the computer in thinking there is colder air and u suppose to gain hp but i don't buy it. IMO i wouldn't waste the money, my car had it done with the resistor and i took it off right when i got it and plugged it back into the lid. It might have done something on the LT1's without Ram Air cause the IAT might have been heat soaked but i heard the LT1 Ram Air cars where the IAT was in the Ram Air Box it worked correctly with no heat soak.

I picked up one for $5.00. Cant tell a difference. Hope this helps

I bought one used about 5 years ago. Made absolutely no difference I could tell. Been in the glovebox now for years.

If you go to Installuniversity.com they tell you how to make one for less than $1 with parts from radio shack.

It basically tricks the ecm into thinking it is anywhere from 32-55 degree out which makes the ecm enrichen the fuel.

Have one. Not worth it. Tricks the computer to beleive (I think 56* intake charge). Simply a .50 resistor from Radio Shack. Had it on my car before I learned what I was doing. Not worth it, and don't even think about it if you have a proper tune.

I wouldn't think it would be a good thing if you have your tune spot on. The only advantage I could see with it, is perhaps in bracket racing. It would make the temp a constant, so the engine would be a touch more predicatable/consistent but I'm just guessing here. What do you guys think? I know most bracket racers tune out the IAT tables anyway, this would be a cheap "round about" way of doing that, right?

Yes it would. But for everyday driving and basic track use, you won't see much of a gain. I do remember that before my tune it I would get engine ping with it installed. May be unrelated, but take your $25 and put it towards a proper dyno tune. Gains/$ will be much greater.

I bought one a long time ago for like $3.00, and what a waste of money it was.
