IAT Mod Chip

[Lynyrd77]

Howdy,
I searched the forum on this before I posted. I have a chip called Speed Seeker that goes into the IAT. They say you will see up to 20HP increase. Has anyone seen or used one of these?
Thanks,

Re: IAT Mod Chip

and you said you searched???

your "chip" is a piece, its simply a resistor, ditch it before it ruins your motor.

Re: IAT Mod Chip

yes,
I did a search and did not find anything on using one of these. Thank you for your reply. It is not on the car, just sitting in a box. Please understand that I am from the old school of the GM V-8 pre 1979. I am new to all this computer controlled stuff. Only had my Camaro 2 weeks.
Thanks,

Re: IAT Mod Chip

yea, basically anything like the word "chip" you want to steer clear from

start out with intake, exhaust, aluminum drive shaft, etc.....small stuff like that if you are looking for more power

Re: IAT Mod Chip

i think with a intake and full exaust on a v6 may give you 15 hp. i would say ditch it.

Re: IAT Mod Chip

its not going to ruin your motor but if you do see any power from the "chip" it will only be a couple of horse for a couple of minutes. all it does is make you computer think the air coming in is cooler than it is so the computer richens the mixture up a bit until your o2 sensors lean it back out and the computer adjusts to the new readings of your iat sensor

in most cases it will throw your fuel trims way off, causing your car to run too lean or rich, leading to KR

Re: IAT Mod Chip

Exactly.
Simple rule: if its says "chip" on it - it doesnt go into our cars period, no it doest go on any OBD-II controlled vehicle.

Re: IAT Mod Chip

Thanks for the advise folks.
Good thing I asked. Quick note. I took those restrictive baffles out of the air cleaner lid. I see a big diff, in throttle response and seems to have picked it up at higher speeds. Great tip form another thread.
