black box?

Just wondering...have any of you used one of those "black box" computer chips that tie into the IAT connector? I believe it tricks the pcm into thinking the car is still cold...after its warmed up, there by richening up the fuel charge?

you can also get a small .10cent resistor and plug it in the end prongs of the iat sensor.

by burning rich you will burn out your cats and O2 sensors and encourage pinging and carbon build up in the engine. You will NOT gain a whole lot...

In other words, don't waste your money or your car....
