Fact: anything that claims 20 HP off a resistor is BS

Don't waste your time or your money. for scammers and ricers who think this **** works.

yep if you really want to try it just buy a resistor for 5 cents at a hardware stock and try it everyone clamps it does help but that's just because they know they got scammed but I bought a mugen upgrade chip for the ECU and it really did work let me rev to 8k in my f22b1 and let the vtec kick in at 3k you should have seen the grin on my face when I saw 7.5k on my tach dynotested it to be 171 hp with an intake and chip cost a good penny though
