I have been reading about Free/Cheap mods that ppl do to their 4th Gens. I was wondering if anyone uses these, and what their experiences where with them.

#1 Throttle Body By-Pass - Does it hurt the motor at all? I can always reverse it when it gets cold, but i was wondering if it has any other adverse effects on the car. Is it worth the $16 for the kit?

#2 AIR - I have the air box with that damn air pump hose sticking into it. I have seen ppl take that hose out and stick a little crank case type breather in it (looks like a little air filter) and zip-tie it to somthing and seal up the hole in the box. I have heard that the only time the AIR pump works is when the car first starts up, but i find it hard to believe that it isn't constantly sucking air out of my box. Would unhooking the hose set off any codes and F things up? I could always put it back for inspection. Does it help with HP?

#3 IAT "Juice Box" - Ok, last but not least i have been seeing these boosters that attach to your IAT sensor and are supposed to give you HP. It claims it does somthing to your timing and some other crap. The one i saw was called the "Juice Box" on eBay. Now i have always thought it was a joke until i saw 2 ppl (1 had a Trans-Am, the other an SS) with it installed. Ur supposed to unplug ur IAT sensor and stick this little box in it. Does anyone use it? Does it hurt anything?

I have always thought that "cheap" HP is bad HP. U kno, like spending $500 on a Stipped NOS kit to get 150HP. But now im not so sure.

Please advise!!!
