Gforce Performance chip?

Please then expain to me the increase in mpg. That very small change resulted in a 2+ mpg increase. Nothing I had done prior installing the resistor had any affect on gas milage. I've added a K&N air filter and Borla cat back exhaust expecting a slight increase in mpg which never materialized. The car has consistantly averaged about 19 mpg since it was new. I've kept records. Over the last 4 fillups my average increased to 21.9 mpg. That's better than a 10% increase which I consider petty good for something I wasn't sure would work either. I like to tinker and have the time and money to **** away so my attitude was WTF I'll give it a shot. I have no dog in this hunt it's basicly irrelevant whether anyone belives me or not. I don't have any involvement with the company and don't sell them on ebay. I just figured someone might be interested in my results, sorry for the intrusion The reason I don't post anything is I do not care to get into bullshit sessions like this one. I visit this site essentially for information and research. Some of which I find informative and other information a little too involved for me to take on as a poject or I have no interest in. You guys won't hear from me again unless you care to.
This IAT sensor trick has been around for ages.
The whole point of it is as simple as putting in a resistor that sends a constant signal that makes your ECU think the intake air temps is constantly 60 something degrees, tricking it into advancing timing and adjusting fuel to compensate. This can be a good thing, but it can also be very bad. I'll let you think about that and decide for yourself.
FYI, this can be done with a 25¢ resistor from Radio Shack.
