what the hell is this powirewire i see some people have?? what does it do and where to get it

 

airram.com i know its a sensor that tell your computer its 20 degrees cooler

ive been debating on getting it or not

 

It's a variation of the IAT trick mod people do on various cars/trucks. It's a resistor inline with the IAT (intake air temp) sensor that fools the pcm into thinking the intake charge is cooler than it really is. This helps in keeping the timing from being pulled from heat soak or just a hot day. Also with a hot intake charge some fuel will be pulled because hot air is less dense than cold air...the IAT mod/powerwire keeps the mixture a little rich from the fuel not being pulled. This will give you a power gain if you're already running lean...otherwise running rich is the opposite of what you want to do for power gains.

 

i heard from people that it is worthless. it causes your engine to use up way to much fuel and doesnt give that much power increase

 

It gives a little power increase but it is not a huge jump. Don't buy it if you are looking for a huge power boost from this thing bc you won't get it. I think it has been a nice little mod for me but I also got mine for free.

 

how did you get it for free? lol

 

5 finger discount?

 

Stole it...... j/k. I was buying some parts from a guy who was selling his truck and he threw it in when I picked up the parts that he sold me.

 

lol oh ok. yea i want one but i dont want to pay 55 plus tax for it.

 

Sometimes you can pick up a used one for much less, like in the $20 - $30 range. There was also a writeup about how to buy the correct resistor and splice into the wiring harness to get the same effect.
