Default Recal / Relocated MAT Sensor - does it work???

I saw a recalibrated / relocated MAT Sensor on a Corvette website that claims a 5-8 HP increase for $25. Has anyone used one? Does it work??? :confused:

I used it, I dyno'd it, and I lost 3 hp. ReLOCATING your stock sensor to a cooler location will give you a 2-3 hp boost. A reCALIBRATED sensor does nothing at all. :nonod:

Don't use it. Get real tuning with LS1edit instead.

I used it, found it hurt performance and took it off the car. Last seen laying alongside the freeway DOA.

VR :cheers:
