I would not beleave that kind of claim. You can not garantee a power gain by adding something unless we are talking nitrous oxide or something. I would not buy it. But if you do decide to buy it let us know how it works.

do not buy that, its a simple resistor that you can buy at radio shack for less then a quarter. and it wont do anything. It supposed to trick the intake temp sensor to think colder air is coming in and it will more than likely make your CEL come on......not a wise investment IMO

hey this actually worked. but my engine light kept coming on. the car feels like if it is bringing in cold air and takes off quicker. i took it off though because i was scared of that light.
