PURE CRAP!

Stay away from those resistors, they could potentailly do harm and there will be no gains.

Power cost $$$ plain and simple.

look dude it's a resistor that tricks the ECU into thinking the air charge is colder going into the engine. the ECU then adds more timing and less fuel to lean it out abit which will add a few ponies but at a serious price. Detonation. the engine may already be as lean as it should be without detonation and when you add that stupid thing yeah you notice alittle but you are destroying your rod bearings from possible detonation which most of the time you can't hear. mustangs don't have knock sensors to retard timing and richen up the mix to prevent detonation. this resistor is junk and an extremely stupid way to get a few ponies.

get an SCT Xcal 2 tuner and have a safe fuel/spark curve added to your ECU for the fuel you are running which will get even more power and be safe.

you get what you pay for

It is complete crap that can, and probably will damage your engine and fuel management system if you install it.

Rememeber, it's these same people that believe a CAI added 30 rwhp on their Civic, when in all logic it's just a hair faster than it was stock, hell, they could still loose to a stock Civic. Remember, just because somebody said they felt something doesn't make it true, most of it is all in the head.
