Default +70HP for $4???.....No way!

I was surfing around on ebay and saw this for sale. The guy claims that all you have to do isplug this $4 risistor into the IAT sensor and BOOM...+70hp...

Here's the link.

I don't know too much about this, but logic tells me that a $4gizmo isn't going to add a lot of additional HP. Has anyone ever tried one of these?

yeah doood,that sh$t works ,i got the $6 upgraded version so when i hit 88 MPH i can go back to the future.

all these risistors do is mess with your temp sensor,make the car think its cold so it will give it more gas and advance the timing,waste of money.

Those things add amost as much horsepower as NOS stickers, but stickers are cheaper.

Check out the seller's feedback. Everyone and their uncle seemes to be buying his gimmik, and leaving positive feedback. I think I'll sell some 30 cent resistors for 9 bucks a pop.
