admins please step in if this is incorrect...

Too good to be true?
I saw some kind of thing on ebay that said that it would fool the temp sensor into thinking that the engine was cold, advancing the timing 2 to 3 degrees essentially adding ~10hp. Does this sound right to you? The bid started at $10 and they were going to throw in instructions on how to modify your trunk to go up and flip down with hardware store parts for the "low-rider trunk" and some other info. Link below.

Oh, and also besides the advanced timing, doesn't the MP3 motor have different cams? Or is that the J-Spec engine I'm thinking about? I think the MP3 also has a different exhaust that yields a bit more HP too. Correct me if I'm wrong please. Thanks.

Our timing is set for 87 octane fuel. The MP3's timing is set for premium fuel, which requires advanced timing.
Here, I found it for you: IAT Mod

Run a search for that. It has been discussed in length before. Bottom line: it doesn't work!

Thanks. Saved myself 10 bucks! Anyhow, so what you are saying is that if you can advance the timing and fuel map using an aftermarket ECU, you can yield about 10 more ponies?
