If you are even considering those E-bay resistor mods, then you really don't know what you are talking about. Take the advice of these fine gentlemen and stick with the basic bolt ons.

to be fair I should point out that I bought a resistor at radio shack after seeing the "ebay chip" and I used it to some success....I should also point out WHY it worked for me and won't for just about everyone else here.

I used to race a 1990 Taurus SHO with a 75hp shot of N20. I ran a walboro 255lph fuel pump and a RRFPR. The ZEX kit I used basically measures mow much fuel flow I have to determine how much N20 to spray up to my maximum jet size...the RRFPR did NOTHING FOR ME. It was supposed to see the increased need for fuel and then supply it, but since the nitrous was waiting for full pressure to spray they never really got more than about a 60hp shot. After adding the resistor in it made my car run super pig rich...which was good for the n20....on the street it killed my car..it bogged, stumbled, fouled plugs, etc...I played around with different size resistors and was able o hit it just right for the nitrous on the track...when I was done racing, i pulled it out and went home like stock!

*edit* before the mod I could only jet for 75hp, after wards I ran a steady 100+hp.
