Air Temp. Module?

http://slponline.com/view_product.asp?PARTNUMBER=63010

Is this air temperature module worth it? SLP claims like 5-7 HP from it. Iwas just curious to see if anyone has it or knows anything about it...

thanks

I used the timing tricker for about a year. Used resistor instead of sensor. Worked great for me. Motor ran much stronger and better mileage. I used a 4.7k ohm mostly. Now I use a Predator to adj. my timing. But I have to say for 99 cents that was a great mod!

I lost three RWHP with it. Save the money. It works on some cars and not on others. That's the nature of the beast.

Save your money. Made my car (`99 A4) and a friend's car (`98 M6) run bad. If nothing else, try what they said above, the $0.99 resistor from Radio Shack first.

I wouldn't do think man...I think it makes the PCM read 57 degrees as the IAT at all times. Could actually hurt more than do good...Good Luck

I put one on. Didn't see any problems, didn't see/feel any gains. I don't use it anymore.

I used to like using a 4.7k ohm resistor (57 degrees) for one reason and one reason only...consistancy. No more pulling timing when the IAC reads hot. But now that I tune via LS1Edit, I just blank the table that does the pulling of timing. So, no need to use a resistor to keep the timing advance consistant.

I also found that using a resistor seemed to richen the mixture just a wee bit so I had to make adjustments or elsewise I'd loose just a hint of trap speed due to it.
