Great way to trash your engine, a 20p resistor.

All the resitor will do is give extra fuel.. BUT extra fuel is not needed.. more fuel does not = more power....

if you want to spend extra money on the already overpriced fuel go ahead and get the resitor!

and you are not going to get 15hp outta a 30 cent resistor. LOL
