Default IAT sensor mods

has anybody tried 1 of the iat mods? its a resistor that goes in the plug, if there is 1, that fools the computer to think there is cold air all the time. i was going to put 1 on my 944 / LT1 i had but sold the car and now im into this c5. the 944 was awfully fast and would do circles around a stock c5, if your down towards westminister in so cal watch for a stone gray 944 and give him a try. thats porsches color for pewter. but if you look on the LT1/LT4 boards there is a iat sensor mod. anyone?

I tried the IAT mod last year on my '99 and I actually lost 2 hp on the dyno. I gained 2 hp by simply moving the stock sensor to a cooler location away from the top of the radiator. No need to buy a modified sensor - it won't do anything for you. Just relocate the one you have for a modest gain.
