A scam. I think it's just a resistor or something in the box. I find it funny they say 30 day money back guarantee lol

a lot of times they'll take FOREVER to ship it, and then claim your 30 days starts when you purchase it and the clock is ticking until they get it back. and thats def a scam...

Imagine IF for $22 you could really add 35 hp and you could keep adding more of them lol. That would be amazing

Manufactured for the 2006 Dodge Ram Truck 1500
5.7L HEMI Engine
2WD & 4WD
Manual Or Automatic Transmission


No Hemi, manual transmission 1500 trucks out there. Only 2500





PROTECTING ALL SENSITIVE COMPONENTS FROM VIBRATION AND HEAT.

Wouldn't want that resistor to get damaged.


Same thing as a "Power Wire", a 4.7ohm resistor that tricks the ecm into thinking that the intake air temp is cooler than it really is for a couple of extra degrees of timing.

That 10 cent resistor that adds 35hp is very fragile

I don't htink it is, it's worse. it goes in parallel with the temp circuit, so who knows what its doing?

Not with a Hemi from the factory




If it does the coolant sensor, then all it does is richen the mixture. Like running a 180 thermostat, it thinks the engine isn't up to operating temp.
