It works on the same principle as the Venom 400: tricks the ECU's reading so that it makes adjustments to increase hp. I don't see why it wouldn't work, at least somewhat. Hell, for $5 its worth trying. You can always take it out if you don't like it and all that's lost is $5 and a little time.

i was kidding. sorry.


something like that does work for cars that have an MAF (mass airflow sensor) it tricks it into thinking that the air coming in is colder. makes the car run a little better... worth about 5hp at best.

never heard of anyone messing with honda's system tho.
