    Okay heres my update guys. You told me to put 50-100 miles on and do another run and it would be slower b.c. the ecu will learn or somwthing..... i waited until i needed to fill up and decides to do it. I also addes the power wire. They say it dynos in at 8-10 whp gain. I did my 1/4 run and it was. 05 faster rofl... so either the power wire works and made up for the ecu learning or the power wire didnt work and the ecu didnt learn/adapt to my tune.

    It's a plug that trick the computer into thinking the intake air is colder then it really is. I don't remember by how much though.

    Hi Guys - I know this is an old thread but I wanted to get more info on this "Power Wire" - I've heard of some guys making their own for a couple of bucks - where did you buy yours and was it worth the money? Did it really work?

    Thanks,

    Scott

    Very cool - does anyone have any experience with this mod? Looks easy enough to do but I was just wondering if it really makes difference. I have a super chips tuner so I wasn't sure if it would make any more of an improvement.

    Im confused. Once the ecu learns the new tune the vehicle should run faster...not slower


    Also if your power wire didnt work and the ecu hasnt learned the tune then how would your 1/4 time be faster?

    FWIW- .05 isn't really "faster". You'll see bigger differences than that in successive runs at a track just an hour apart, let alone days apart. lol it could have actually been a "slower run" with more optimal conditions (that would have resulted in a faster original run)... like lower temp & humidity or changes in atmospheric pressure.

    Dude that was way faster! I could feel it haha.. yea i know anything is a variable when it comes to 1/4 times. I just figured id share my info with ya guys. Either way i have seen improvements with the power wire tho. Going up hills before the power wire it would drop gears & with it on now it doesnt and powers thru.
