        Yuppers. It also helps the "warm" operating performance.

        As for resetting the computer, all you have to do it remove the
NEG
        terminal, turn the key to the START position and hold it for
about 15
        seconds, turn the key OFF and reconnect the battery terminal.
(You might
        have to reset your radio as well.)

        There's been no adverse effects from this mod (i've had it
relocated for
        about 3 months now) but the mileage will go down slightly
(depending on your
        foot).

         So, if I think about this,(under normal circumstances) on a
cold
        morning when I first start the truck up, the computer detects
colder air
        and automatically sends more fuel into the mixture. The same as
applying
        a choke on a carb. So what I'm doing is "fooling" the computer
into
        thinking the air in the manifold is colder than it actually is,
        therefore dumping more go juice into the engine. Pretty cool
trick, but
        does this have any effect the longevity of the fuel
components?(i/e
        injectors, pump,TBI?) Also, do I reset the computer by
disconnecting the
        battery for about 1hr and reconnecting?
