In the tube between the air filter ( or CAI if you have one ) and the inlet tube

Nooooo don't put the resistor in. People sell some sort of resistor that goes in-line with the sensor on e-bay and claim 20HP all it does is cause is cause your car to run lean and hurts performance. It's garbage.

If you own a 05', then check it back in. They don't work!

Yeah don't use it. I was stupid enough to try one like that and it was a waste. I actually lost power with it cause the car retunes itself and it tuned below what it was originally was and it increased the delay in the throttle quite abit. I took it out and running great again and back to almost no throttle delay (well now I have none cause I got an X-cal2)

I refused to tell him how, and he got pissed at me and threw a fit and telling me its cause i dont know anytihng about Mustangs. lol. So i told him why he shouldnt use it and he brought it back and got a tuner.

Adding a resistor?? Jeeez where do people come up with this stuff? All that's going to do is send the computer a signal that is incorrect and totally screw up the mixture. Don't do it! You could even damage the engine it it causes the computer to lean out the mixture too much. It could also run too rich. It is was excessivley rich you could also damage the engine by washing the thin layer of oil off the cylinder walls that the rings require for lubrication. Don't do it!!
