Most SD guys don't see much benefit from a 10k mod. If you want to do it, pick up a 5.6k resistor and a 10k pot. The pot allows you to adjust the resistance to anwhere from 0 to 15.6k, though I can't recall how to wire it up right now.
Short answer- I wouldn't waste your time.

a resistor thats hooked to the ICP to make it fool the PCM to dump more fuel...kind of like a super chip..but cheaper..get a DP tuner or the like..much safer in the long haul...

It should adjust the resistance from 5.6K to 15.6K, not zero.

Zero won't work at all.

Wire them in series.

Agreed. I tried it. Ripped it out.. Then a month later hooked it back up. To only rip it out and give up. Seen no benefit except a rough erratic idle. A on/off switched hooked up to the go peddle might help so that it will only work when you hit the go peddle ??? . Nah. it won't be me..
