Yeah it's pretty much bogus. All it is, is a resistor that goes in line somewhere, and alters one of the input signals to the PCM. It's most likely for the ACT sensor to make the vehcile think it's colder. The reason it says it doesn't work with t a JET brand module is because that's how the JET chips work. They go inline with the engine harness and "alter" the signals into the PCM. This is how "chips" from the 80s worked. It's old technology that this guy is just selling really cheap. If you have a chip, there's no need for it, and I wouldn't really suggest it even if you don't have a chip.

It's probably a 160* thermostat.

"Praise : SUE WEE HOT DIGITY MAN KER-PLOW IS THIS DUDE IS AN E-BAYIN FEIND "
"Praise : Service engine light did come on, but noticed difference in hp! Worth my $$ "
"Praise : THIS SIMPLE MODIFICATION REALLY WORKS, I AM IN THE BLUE TRUCK SPEEDING IN TOWN "
"Praise : Dude! It's a 5 cent resistor! Great gimmick! A+ "

I don't think so. I planned to, but I called today and there is like 6 differen things going on for tomorrow. It's going to be a zoo like last Sunday was. I'm not spending another $50 for MAYBE 2 passes if I'm lucky.

Sunday Pit Gate Opens 10:00 AM
Spectator Gate Opens 12:00 PM
Time Trials 1:00 - 2:30 PM
Eliminations 2:30 - 6:00 PM

Sun 27th - Outlaw 8s, Super, Heavy, Bike, Test & Tune

I see what you mean Sal, "WE NEED A NEW TRACK IN LI" Does that mean I only get that 1-1/2 hour of oppurtunity to do T/O Runs ??? Or can I do run T/O during the other stuff ???

I got to make a run and see where I'm at after that melt down.
I took away 2lbs of boost, but I think I'll bring both Pulleys since it takes maybe 3 minutes to change it. I also added the lowering shackles, my Home Made 4" Ram Air, I'm into my third tank of 94 Octane, and your new Denso's. I need to make a pass to see if it's where it should be again. Then I can pull some plugs and see whats going on, I need piece of mind after what happen.
I guess I'll show up @ 12:30 and pray I get at least ONE good run. I can always run the Heavy Class right ? I'll figure 4850 with my fat ***
I'll let you know how I make out.
