101917, EBAY POWER !!!
Posted by TheGhost, Nov-17-06 03:49 AM
I was looking online for stuff for my car when I saw a "POWER CHIP" on ebay. This power chip is a resistor that plugs up with the IAT. Is this worth the money the site says that there is a noticable gain and power is made upwards of 15 horsepower please let me know thanks and as always god bless ... :bowdown

All it does is fool the ECU into thinking the air coming into the motor is super cold. You can buy your own resistor from ratshack for like $0.10, and it's still probably not worth the effort.

What is the benefit of this technically speaking ?

Typically, slightly advanced timing and slightly more fuel, I don't know exactly. HP gain = ???
I do know that when it's cool outside (it was 40 this morning), my mustang loves it.

I gotta come clean, I couldn't help myself and my curiousity took me over. I tried the resistor thing. I HAD to play guinea pig. It did pretty much nothing noticeable on stock internals with UDP and header (I think that's all I had at the time).
Suffice it to say, don't get it.
