Rapid Velocity Performance Mod

[Guest]

I was just digging through E-bay and happened across this little number.  The guy wants 24 bucks and claims he can get you $25 horsepower.  "that's like a dollar an hour."  Judging by the picture it looks like there is only two wires hanging out the end of that magical black box, I tend to be a disbeliever until someone can tell me otherwise....

...Actually as I was digging deeper I found these as well.  I need new rotors and really $45 is a pretty decent price especially for crossdrilled.  I'm only running on the street, so I can't really complain about the brakes.

....wow I found an even cheaper one, but you only get 20 horsepower.  I guess it's true what they say, you get what you pay for....

Click Electricity and magnetism then Ohm's law, read that stuff.  Those adds are getting better at not telling you what you are actually buying, but it is only an R from Ohm's law.  You can buy a normal 0.25 watt ceramic film one for about $0.27 at digikey, or overpay at Radioshack.  I bought a lot of about 10,000 random different resistors that were sorted for about $30 shipped a long time ago.

Shouldn't this be a sticky or something?
