CAI + Chip thingy, Safe? Options

[urbandork]

When i first asked about that chip/resitor thingy that goes on to the air temp sensor, which makes the engine read that its getting colder air and thus dump more fuel in to the chambers, i was told that it was unsafe.

However it has recently been brought to my attention that if the the sensor chip thingy tricks the engine into thinking its getting colder air then what would be the problem if i use it while running a CAI system?

I ask this question because my temp sensor off the airbox is currently just sitting in my engine bay and reading probably hotter temps then what it read even with the stock airbox.

So should i just relocate the sensor to a colder place or use the chip/resistor thingy? I also couldnt find it on ebay is there a how to?

what is it with people.. thinking if you add something to your car it will make it faster. No matter what it is? What is the point of the air temperature sensor? Why even have it, if it is as easy to get rid of with a simple resistor, whey didnt the car manufacture save some money and get ride of it completely. The only reason you would want to run rich is when your car is running boost. There is no good reason to run richer then you have to, runing rich will mess up your cat. converter.
