Ok guys I know most of the stuff on ebay or fake hp stuff but I thought I read somewhere on here about this mod before. Is it really worth it or is it just dumb like the other ebay mods? It shows a dyno that improved 6 Hp but I don't know. How about the mod that tricks the computer about colder air coming into the engine. They are cheap mods but do they work? Thanks

All it does is keep the TB cooler so it doesn't heat the air going thru it. GM supposedly did this to heat it up in the winter or something. Most people who have done this mod have had no problems with it though. It's not really a kit. All you need is some rubber fuel line. Just drain some coolant, take the 2 lines off going from your coolant hard line to the TB, and put a peice of hose between the hose barbs on the hard line. That way the coolant skips the TB and goes to the heater core. Fill your coolant back up and your done!:)
