Basically, it fools the PCM into thinking there's cooler denser air coming
through and it adjusts fuel mixture and timing accordingly, however, keep in
mind the changes are ever so slight as the information is combined with
information from other sensors as well.

I relocated the IAT Sensor a year and a half ago on my '97 5.2
I don't know if it really increases gross horsepower, but it does
allow the engine to run smoother with better response, especially
in warmer weather.
I relocated it from the intake manifold to the bottom of the open element
K&N air cleaner. I left the old sensor in its original position and capped
it
with a flame red boot and installed a new one in the air cleaner.
Tests in the shop show that the temp reading in the manifold was between
138 to 146 degrees and the new location ran between 78 and 90 degrees.
Substantial difference.
