    i heard the IAT will only give 1 extra HP. you should get yourself a fan switch also. helps out a good bit to keep your engine cool.

      Nope, 96's are fine without it. You only need the resistor for 01/02 model cars, due to a PCM code change. It is not used for more power, its used to eliminate the gauge failure/fans kicking on high/ses light issue with the late model V6s.
