will i run lean with power wire???

hey guys be nice! lol man the Power wire makes your truck think its running colder air then it really is so it changes the fuel maps and w/e else and gives you more power! and running lean means not enough fuel is getting combusted in the motor... i think i'mright on that cause rich means to much fuel! so yeah...

Hrmmm wow...whatever...
I did a quick research about power wire and some post say not to do it because it mess fuel mixture and at high rpm i will run lean and its worst with bolt on.
And trucky come on maybe my english sounds like **** but i was a car mecanic and work in 2 different garage and im in a pit crew with BMW mpower and im building engines and im very proud of the projects i have accomplished offroad and dragracing.Yes i know what lean is and power wire is a resistance you add to wire.
im not stupid plz i dont want to have people against me in this forum that help me tu build my dak from A to Z.

The power wire will only work at WOT when the ECU goes off the IAT instead of the O2 sensors. During all other throttle the ECU goes off the O2 sensors to add appropriate fuel. I use a reader to see what it did, and the 4.7 ohm resistor, changed the IAT to see 20*F cooler than it was showing without it.

All I'm saying is the POINT of power wire means your mixture turns rich, I don't know what your other sources were but they are...misled? Having a modified engine would benefit from this too, I don't know if it would be more or less or the same amount of 'power' though, depending on mods.
Also I didn't understand what you meant by adding power wire or just relocating the sensor, because in theory that is the same exact mod altogether.
Sorry for my 'roid rage but this forum is starting to erk me.
My final point is this, I know a guy with a heavily modded engine who took his sensor straight out of the pipe and lets it hang over his wheel well...

Trucky is on point! You know when you first start your truck in the morning it runs at a higher RPM and is rich as the PCM is reading cold temps. As the truck warms up the idle and rpms drop down. Powerwire is designed to make your PCM think you are cold all the time so you run Richer.

This seems like a terrible mod to me. Why would you want to trick your truck into thinking its receiving colder air? The goal of that sensor...is to get the most accurate reading possible...people want to "trick" there cars and trucks into "thinking" its getting colder air then it really is?? So you can run rich?
Am i missing something here...
