Just killing time on ebay... and i ran across this; it caught my attention but i think it's soooooo bogus. What are your guy's thoughts on it?

That is 100% BS that they are selling there, and nothing more.

And if you think about it, a blade of grass "can" give me "up to 20 hp," but it's not.

I hear ya, I couldn't help myself either so I bought em. I actually received three different resistors for $8...mild, moderate, and extreme. Of course I put the extreme in first, then the moderate, and finally the mild. I did notice a LITTLE gain in midrange performance, but noticed it bogged down at low rpm's and really didn't notice any gains at high rpm. The bogging problem seemed to get better as I went from extreme to mild but it was too apparent for me to ignore. Also, it did cause a CEL in my 99 EX. IMO they aren't worth anything, but for 8-10 bucks...why not see for yourself?
