I think its a resisitor not sure on the ohm value though, diodes usually block the flow of current. or allow current to flow one way though it and not the other.

Don't do it. Just step back, think about it, and recall the old adage "If it sounds too good to be true..."

This is for my buddys car... i really dont know that much about the v6 models....

What would be the first mod for the v6?? I was thinking the chip mod..but i guess you have to reprogram the chip with one of huperteck reprogramers...

Would this be the best thing to do?

He spelled Camaro "Camero".

If you look at the picture closely it says 75 ohms. I doubt this mod adds much hp, if any.

I actually did this mod. No noticable difference. Waste of money, looks like crap. Don't do it.

It's official, I was on installuniversity.com today, they have a big disclaimer on the top of the main page discrediting this mod.

you can do it yourself...

4.7kohm resistor from radioshack...

$0.99 for a pack of 5


And another tip... don't buy a mod for your camaro if the guy spells camaro wrong.

Actually these things still sell on ebay? I think I should start trying to sell them

yeah but don't do it. it plugs into the sensor that plugs into your air intake. waste of time, money, and looks gay. i did it before all this stuff came out about it and it doesn't do a damn thing. 99 cents for a pack of 5 and doesn't work. don't waste ur money and time. l8tr,
