some people are just to naive.

I hate people who try to sell $hit like that it's just dumb, I mean first of all it doesn't do $hit except maybe fu{k up your car, and second I don't see what they make of that thing a freaken dollar?

Just stupid.

It's a resistor, go to radio shack and buy 3 for 99 cents. It won't do much, anything actually, but why not try?

Don't ever buy these kinda shhit! Simple resistor with instructions that you can find online for free. Even if it's $3, it will not worth it

These things are a waste of time and space on ebay and here. This has been discussed before. If you can read the FAQ you can see that these are a waste of energy.

Dammit guys, this "mechanism" has been sold on ebay for years now - IT IS NOTHING BUT SCAM!

It does absolutely nothing to increase hp. I'm still amazed that ebay does nothing to ensure these people get busted permanently or punished for flat out stupidity and lying to the public.

Just my .02

It's BS but has anyone ever tried it and proved it to be BS? I don't think so. People just say that cause everyone says the same thing.

well if it was true, there would be more people buying that sh*t than the y pipe....or something like that, im preaty sure that someone bought this and it didn't work for them, so they are ashamed to post up and let everyone else know lol. their car probably blew up that sh*t so that's the reason they won't post up . Buy it and let us know if it works, if u don't post up, that will just tell us no to get the dam thing .

What are you smoking man?!

First off, YES, it has been proven here on the org numerous times that IT IS BS! The question is, where were you? I've honestly seen at least 20 threads on this device in the past few months. But the threads weren't questioning the device, instead, bashing it all the way - this coming from people who bought it.

Second, how stupid can you be? If things like aftermarket air intakes give you around 5 hp gain for $50 or so, what makes you think you'll gain 20hp for $3??? WTF? BE REAL

Yeah, but then we'd all have monsterous Supra-type 700+ hp for under $50 and what would be the fun in that?

dude 4.7K ohm (most popular for this "mod", and I use that word hestitantly here) are 10 for $0.99 ... I work there ...

And this "mod" has been proven to LOSE 5-10whp simply due to the engine knocking and retarding timing ....

I can find the website, or you could do a lil searching on yahoo for "resistor mod" + "camaro" and you'll probably find the article I'm thinking of.


End result, resistors are cheap (though the guy will even replace yours if it burns out! <~ yuck), readily available, and will hurt your performance as our engines already have fairly advanced timing, much higher and you are going to knock like all hell, then you'll get to pay a lovely $3000 to get a new engine, all by trying to add "up to 20HP" for $3, use some common sense please. If not *Smack* sell your damn car, format your harddrive, buy a shotgun from walmart, and kindly remove yourself from the human gene pool, as you are a complete failure and waste of space.
