Simply go to the the nearest radio shack and pick up a 3.3 Kohm resistor. the pattern is gold gold red orange I believe....anyways, unplug your air flow sensor from your intake tube and stick the ends of the resistor between the two little connections and bingo, instant HP increase due to the car thinking it's 32 degrees outside and making the fuel mixture run VERY rich......

PS not recomended for daily driving, only one time street race/track race/drag race as this may damage the engine with extended use
