Yea 10-20 hp gains with about 50% increse in fuel consumpsion.

All it is, is a simple 5 cent resistor that you can get at radio shack which you splice into your intake air temperature sensor. It fools the intake air temp sensor into thinking that its -40 degrees outside thus running rich as hell.

I think if this was really that beneficial and good for the car the engineers at Infiniti would have put it on the car stock.

There is usually a bit more research at an engineering plant for the car then there is at the factory making these resistors.

Dont waste your money, bottom line! if power was that easy, the MFG would have put it on and advertised 250 HP!

Wes the 10 hp or whatever this thing WILL give is easy to get. At the expense of driveability, gas milage, engine longevity.

A guy at my school put a certain impedence resistor instead of his IAT on his RSX. 2 dyno runs. 11 hp gain with the resistor. Gas milage went from 26-28 to 10-12
