Anything that says they will give you 20+horsepower for under $40 is bullshit.

it actually may work.. Kinda like those stupid little ecu chip things from ebay, that cost like 20 bucks, They do add a little bit of power, but they do it in a very bad way, I know the ebay ones work by makign your engine think its cooler than it actually is, so it puts out more power... these are very bad for your engine... dont do it

Because colder air = denser = can run more fuel = makes your car run rich as ****.

errr where is the colder air coming from? the motor is cooler not the air according to the previous post, but also how does running "rich as ****" make you more power?
what i mean is would a 12:1 AF ratio make more power than a 14.7:1 AF ratio?

Read your own quoted post. He said its a stupid little chip that makes your ECU THINK its taking in colder air than it really is.

And I dont know.

They are like 15 bucks and when I switched them from red to blue it gave me like 30hp gain.
