I'll get you the info needed to do it after I get back from work, but I'll tell you what it does.

It tricks the computer into thinking the temprature of the aircharge going into the intake is cooler than what it is.

You know with cooler weather and aircharge the computer advances the timing and the fuel mixture. It probably doesnt build as much power as putting a Timing adjuster on because the mixture is richened up (Probably hurts power alittle)

Example. If you gain 13 HP from the timing adjuster with 14% timing, the Resistor trick might only gain ya 9-10 HP at the wheels.

If you have an off road H-pipe and do this resistor trick, you'll notice alittle unburnt gas coming out the pipes on hard accerleration.

There are several resistor combos you can use to simulate diffrent air charge temps. Like when its 70 degrees outside, my computer reads 50 degrees.

No spark knock under extreme load and lugging.

Another thing that we road tested against other cars is Home Made Ram Air. WHile not as much of a gain, it will make a diffrence.

Tim C made a home made ram-air set up for his 99 GT and he could edge on me at 45-On up miles per hour.

People have a hard time believing our cars our basically stock except for a few bolt-ons. No one seems to believe me and TIm C but I tell ya, with alittle back yard know how (Back yard computer, and electrical knowledge) you'll give a LS-1 a REAL GOOD RUN for his money, especially if they expect to beat you by just toying around, He'll be seeing your taillights over and over again.

Its a beautifull site. Thats why I think Car and Driver times are Crap. They must put trained Monkeys in these cars to get these crappy times.
