Cool R-16/1

Brothers of The Benz, that little unplug resistor has surfaced again.
Those I'm familiar with are taped and tiewraped to the suction line of the AC. I imagine that's a free heat sink.
I've run my 124030, 108983, engine both with and with out. I simply remove it tape the connection and go for it.
I must say my fuel economy(mpg)dropped signifigantly; not the resistors doing but my driving habits changed.
These machines that are 10-15 years old, with 200-250,000 miles on the odometer don't come up with new intovations that haven't been tried before; no one has re-invented the wheel. Remember the Spiderman's Dual cold Ram air? Nothing new, the 500's have it, so why not the 300's?
Then there was the thread concerning the K & N Air filter. WOW!
Then there are those of us than would try anything in an attempt to improve performance with out the integrity of the machne.
I think I'll get the shop manuals out and see where the Engineers goofed.
Happy Trails Beep Beep from the Spiderman in Houston!!!
