Here is where you can buy one.

But would recommend going to the DIY section.

Just put a 180 degree thermostat in. Heard it's the same thing.

It keeps the motor like 20 degrees cooler than the 200-210 degrees it normally runs.

It is said that either mod puts you in the open loop configuration, so it takes you to the same point but by different sensors. Open loop fattens the injector pulse and eliminates the O2 sensor inputs. WOT is also open loop.

yea I think you get benefits from both if you were to do both...if they were the same thing than the next wouldnt add any benefit?

Either the power wire or the 180 thermostat by themselves would put you at the same point. If you did both you would just be wasting your time. Like red truck says, the power wire mod will give you the "open choke" feeling and not doing the power wire and putting in the 180 thermostat will give you the same thing. It's just either keeping the motor at a lower temp or tricking the motor into thinking it's at a lower temp. Same result.

The thermostat controls the temp of the coolant, and the powerwire detects the incoming air...i would have figured that had two different effects. I dont know though, im interested in yalls info

If I'm correct the computer reads that the engine isn't to operating temps and creates the same effect just using different sensors.
