yeah i did some research after the fact and seen the numbers were close. as far as the take off. i didn't run it to 60 in 2nd. i dont know anything about drag racing or take offs so i thought i would try it. usually i leave it in D and mash it if im going to do it. how do i check for spark knock?

from the sources this will work on all 2000 and up 3.7, 4.7, 5.7, 5.9 and 6.1 applications. on your intake tube whether it be stock or aftermarket there is a sensor with 2 wires coming off of it. this is your IAT sensor. you will need to cut one of the wires(shouldn't matter which one) and splice this in. you may even be able to use the connector splices so you wont have to cut anything but i could be wrong on that.

Just picked up all the parts for this. Gonna try it on mine. Did you run a wire between the resistor and the connectors? I'll let you know what the butt dyno says. I've got a V6, so the power gains/losses should be more noticeable than with a bigger motor.

Take the resistor and solder two pieces of wire to it. Go outside and cut ONE of your IAT wires and crimp each wire of the resistor to each wire of the IAT. Then reset the PCM. If you want to make it right, use insulated male/female quick dicsonnect (spades) so you can take it on and off as you like. Keep in mind the P/W works at WOT.

yeah. the shrink wrap is covering the resistor. i just made 5 at once since i had it all out and it took a minute for each. then i just handed them out to local people. i think i have one left. weed do the wires have to be a certian length? i think i would like to cut mine to be as short as possible

No specific length. I made mine only about 3" on each side of the resistor. You dont want it too long because if you are going to do like me and put them in wier loom, you need somewhere to put that wire and 12" on each side would obviously be too much.
