I don't doubt that the resistor mod works great...but the IAT sensor is a
VARIABLE Thermo-Resistor which doesn't just read one setting. From what I
saw on Alan's truck at the Houston Races, he removed it when he went back to
street driving. This is where the relocation comes in handy...no resistor
to remove and it will still give you the variable readings required. (Cold,
Warm-Up, Normal run.)
The sensor really does need to be installed in the intake stream though...

Subject: DML: IAT Sensor Mod
Better than relocating the IAT resistor... I am using a resistor that reads
a constant 52'. I felt a difference immediately. I don't remember the
correct ohm (5, 15, 1.5 ??) Someone gave it to me to try out at the track,
and I couldn't tell if it was working out there because I only got one more
run and mis-shifted (i should have let the truck shift on its own... damn
revv limiter!) But seat of the pants tells me it is a good mod. I have been
using is for a few hundred miles now without any problems (ie no check
engine light)
I will see if I can get the specifics, and if anyone knows the specifics
please post.
It is not a bad mod for fifty cents.
later
