What do you think?

I was browsing around ebay looking at performance parts, mostly because i was bored, and i found some guy selling an "intake sensor chip" that is supposed to increase horsepower. i was a little skeptical about it so i figured i'd ask around here and see if it actually works or if it's another case of a sucker born every minute. here's the url.....Intake Sensor

If it is the thing I see whenever I am looking for Ranger parts, You will get a 10 cent resister, that will change the values for a vaarrry brief period on any computer controlled vehicle. If this worked the factory would do it as people say, but in essence the factory is looking at things like this Looong term with multiple computers that will detect and adjust for how you drive with fuzzy logic. Don't throw money away, give it to a charity!
