Re: SLP Air Temperature Module??? I had one, took it off, no gain, waist of money. Besides, if you really want one there are guys that can tell you how to make one from a resistor for less than a buck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Re: SLP Air Temperature Module??? I don't have one, but I have seen many many people say they are crap. Some said it actually hurt performance, some said just no gain, but no one has said they gained anything with this as far as i know.
Re: SLP Air Temperature Module??? Don't waste your money like I did. Experimented with it at the dyno. I gained 3rwhp after taking it off. Also, those things richen your fuel curve during hot weather, which kills power. I went from 12.5A/F with it on, to 13.0A/F with it removed. Mine now resides at the local dump.

Re: SLP Air Temperature Module??? Sooo... What are you guys trying to tell me? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Thank for the info! Pretty much what I thought I would here.

Re: SLP Air Temperature Module??? MOBE,
You can pick up a 4.7 kOhm resistor at Radio Shack and it will do the same thing for about 50 cents. Just unplug your IAT connector and stick it across the harness terminals. Your IAT's will always read 57 degreesF. This is supposed to put you on the most aggressive timing curve (I believe as IAT temp increases the PCM will retard timing up to 3 degrees). I experimented with it last year and actually picked up a half to one degree of timing so I kept it. Its been working fine for me, but I am also using a MAFT, etc., so just plugging it in may not work for you. I ended up spending the $20 for the SLP version since I got tired of looking at the resistor and black tape hanging there.
Once I get LS1Edit I don't see why it'll be necessary anymore.
