resistor mod?

[bigm1717]

i was on ebay looking at things for my 98 sho, and i came across these resitor mods. i was going to go down to radio shack and and just by a resistor for like ten cents insted of paying ten bucks online. does anybody know if it safe to do this to our cars, and if so what size resistior do i need and where do i plug it in, the ad said in the IAT sensor, but i don't know what that is. thanks

as the old saying goes: "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is..."

Well in this case, it IS! This "mod" will do nothing for performance (or anything else)

It's a waste of money

The resistor mod on some cars may actually work in forcing the A/F richer during open loop WOT than it normally would. But the OEM programming for all SHOs is too rich from the factory.

On the Gen 3 SHO before ~'98 the high temp timing trigger is 90F. +'98s it is around 100F IIRC.
