Probablly just a 75 cent resistor from Radio Shack, lord only knows what it would do to your ECU |

I may get it for the improved 1/4 mile times.

Carter is right. The part is simply a Radio Shack resitor. I fell for it, but to give the guy credit read the description and he tells you exactly what he is sending you. All-in-all, it is cheaper than buying a Tornado fuel saver, and is probably about as practical. Do it yourself.. Look up IAT timing on the web, there are several articles discussing how you can this is done, and if it is practical or not. (Your choice). I am also not sure what the ECU would think about this addition. Could screw the timing right into the detonation range. -Reed

Just looked this up on E-bay. The seller has got this thing on E-bay in 500 places, just changes name of car that it is supposed to go on. Also 1/3 of his feed backs were people who felt cheated. He probably does all the positive feedbacks himself. Randall |

If you look at some the negative feedback he got, some of them point out that it's a one cent resistor from Radio Shack! Good One, give the guy credit! -John Cobblers and tinkers are the best ale drinkers. James Howell - 1659

Yeah! I couldn't really complain. I was stupid enough to only speed read the listing, bid, then checked his feedback. Great scam! Wish I had thought of it. Whats really embarassing, (Like admitting to being suckered isn't) Is that I probably have a couple dozen of the same resistors in a drawer somewhere. Life is fun! |
