Crock of Horse S--T!!! Dont waste your time. It just tells the computer that the IAT is reading colder air, and therefore ups the timing to what the stock file has at that given temperature. Dont waste your time...

Sweet, or you could relocate as others have did, or place the same value resistor inline with this circuit. I wouldn't waste my time.
And the article says UP to 10 hp gain. I'll take a dump in a paper bag and sell it for 5 dollars and you put it in your trunk for added traction to make your ET's quicker. I'll guarantee up to 2 seconds off your 1/4 mile ET's. If the dookie fails, I will send more after I eat supper. hehe!

Same effect as a 15¢ resistor from Radio Shack: none.

4.7 ohm resistor to be exact.

yeah I have but I also did a few other little things at the same time and it was the combination of the little things that made it able to be felt SOTP.

Before you ask the little things included:
airfoil, t-stat, IAT relocation, tb-bypass

I think you would gain 20 hp if the sensor was laying on the 1500 degree manifold then moved it up and away then used there product!
I moved mine further from the motor and use the resistor in the summer for the 53 degree affect and plug it in for the winter when its under 50 all the time.
