For $5 I'd be willing to give it a shot. I just don't know what exactly I'm looking for on E-bay. Is this it?

If not, can someone give me a link to the resistor.

Yeah, you can get that one although it's not the guy I brought it from. They were truthful enough to say you won't get 20hp like other companys say. In actuality, it's maybe about 5-6hp. 10-12 with a K&N filter. But it was worth the money to me. It works somewhat like a Jet Module except without moddifing the tranny shift points. I would give you one (since they sent me 2), but 1 burned when my PT burned and I lost the other.[:I]

Thanks for the heads up Mean Green.

There's one downside to this idea.
The PCM doesn't read the air temp sensor above 85% throttle angle.
This means that any resistor will be useless when you step on it.
Above 85% throttle, the PCM goes into a pre-programmed fuel and ignition strategy. The mid-throttle timing will advance as far as 37 degrees. At WOT, the most advance you will ever see is 24 degrees.
Chrysler uses a very conservative PCM strategy to keep the motor running for a long time.

Do you know if that's the same with the early model PT's? I know some things are different like the speed limiter because I've hit 120mph in mine.

The timing data was gleaned from real-time recording of the datastream in 2001 and 2002 PTs.

No resistor chip or Jet module will add ANY horsepower above 85% throttle. Anytime you take off from a stop or pass someone on the road, you will get nothing from those mods.
