Yup, my boss has done this many times on his Chevy V6 Vortec motors since they are generally a little sluggish. There are pre-made kits for it, but as you found, its very easy to do yourself.

The ride home was great!
NO pinging... and I tried hard to make it do it.
A/C, hills, braking while accelerating...
It wasn't AS peppy as the morning run, but definitely better than without the mod.
I'm going to track gas mileage change next.
Also, I need to take it to a shop to test timing with the IAT in stock config., and with the mod to see how much change there really is.

I bought one of those for my mazda about 10 years ago while living in Guam, I noticed no difference. I guess the ultimate test would be to run some 0-60 times,or even better a dyno, but I am still in the "snake oil" camp on this one. If it were that easy to improve performance, I would think auto manufacturers would do it, and big name upgrade companies would market them as well with a Jegs sticker or some equivalent.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

The thing is, I think it will only show it's value in HoT climates, like 95+ degrees.
Otherwise the vehicle is already performing at it's best.
I just gave the extra resistors I had to two of my coworkers.
One of the guys has a dodge 3500 dually with a hemi.
He called me on the way home tonight all excited... It works it works!!!
