I read a suped sensor makes your car faster all the time ,is this true????because some times its really fast but other times not as much.

No, that is how a lot of the stupid eBay performance modules work, what it does it makes the IAT read colder than it really is, say -20 degrees when it is really 85 degrees in the intake tube, this will cause more fuel to be delivered, and less MPG.

It doesn't do much in the way of performance because Honda uses a rich map at WOT anyways, so all you'll be doing is dumping fuel needlessly out the exhaust.

There are better ways to deliver fuel instead of tricking a sensor.
