ROTFL......
This isn't just a mod..its a CD with instructions on how to do it!!! LoL



No...these all suck!!!!! (IMO)

Just move your IAT sensor to your CAI (down near botton of tube)
you'll ahve to drill a hole for it to fit, and have a plug for the hole not being used!

My buddy did this the other day at the dyno and he picked up 9hp...no BS

its free!!!!

Read the first one carefully.... all he is selling you is a CD that appears to copy the "how to" instructions that you can find for free on the web. His dyno results for the TB bypass are copied from the ws6.com website. In my opinion, if this guy isn't Keith, he's stolen it from Keith.

If you read carefully (and there is a lot of intentional obfuscation in the text) the only part he actually includes in the deal is the skip shift eliminator resistor (20-cents at Radio Shack).

Spiral-max is a huge hoax.... there is another identical unit called the "tornado".... do a search and see what you fellow F-Body owners feel about that one. This thing is essentiall some "vanes" stamped out of what is little more than a beer can, and supposedly improves performance if you stuff it in the inlet elbow. Ask yourself the question.... how the hell could stuffing anything in between the MAF sensor and the throttle body improve performance? Actually, he claims you will get "0-35 increase in horsepower"..... so if it does absolutley "nothing" he will have delivered exactly what he promised. I personally suspect that "spinning" the air in front of the TB would probably hurt air flow, and cost you perfromance.

Read the threads available on this board, look at the "how to" stuff on the Project TransAM website database, and on Brent Franker's "how to" page. Do not spend $33.00 for something you can get for free. Do not spend $70 for the Spiral-max. Put the $100 into the "free mods" and you will be way ahead of what either of these jokers are selling, and you will have money left over.

Just my humble opinion......

PASSENGER WINDOW EXPRESS DOWN MOD

*

Make your passenger side window operate in like your driver side window in that, when you hold the button for about a half second then let go, the window will continue to lower until it either gets to the fully down.

For F-Bodies

Im sure that was ripped off from B Franker.

IAT

I can give you another way to fool the IAT. Just unplug it and stick a 3.3K ohm resistor in the plug as a jumper and you're done. It fools the computer into thinking the air coming in the car is 32 degrees. I saw no seat-of-the-pants out of this one (not that I expected it), but it only costed 25 cents. Free mods are just like free money. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

I might have to buy this and see. That is really going to tick me off if he did.

One thing you'll notice out of the majority of these SCAMMERS is that they make their auctions private so you can't email the bidder and tell them they are getting RIPPED OFF.

I'm going to bid on it right now... I'd like to see if the guy's eye ***** pop out of his head when he sees my username on his auction.

Well, I bid on it. Hopefully the other eBayers aren't foolish and outbid me... he has a ton of other auctions out there for the same product with no bids.

Lets see if he sells it to me

Don't you like how he calls his 'company' "Cheap Tricks?"

And what's a V-chip?

Isn't that what they put in Cartmen's brain?
