Default Intake Air Temp Modual

Has anyone installed Intake Air Temp Module. The module plugs into your MAT on your air bridge. It's susposed to trick the computer to give you 3 degreees of advance timing no matter what the temp is? Thanks

You can do the same thing with a 25 cent resistor from radio shack :yesnod: 4.7Kohm 1/4 watt.

Don't do it! (Unless your ride is a 97 or 98) I installed it on my '99 which I am told has a more agressive timing table from the factory and it resulted in tremendous amount of detonation before the computer pulled the spark back. On full throttle acceleration, the spark being constantly retarded and advanced felt like bad surging.
Waste of Money.
