Uhhhh....no, at least not to the tune of 5-10 HP.
Well, yes, it will work on warm days to "fake" the computer into thinking it is like 56 degrees outside. This will increase timing slightly. But it is only a resistor that you could buy at Radio Shack for $0.50.
Here is a good link to read up on:

when the computer thinks it'* getting really cool air, wouldn't it add more fuel, too? So, that would make for a very rich mixture in the engine, which hurts power (right :? ?), then advances timing as well, adding power. Are they saying this works despite the rich mixture (and how would this be bad for a knocking car, rich A/F helps resist detonation) by adding more power with the timing?

I checked out some of the other articles on that site that Jstpsntym
gave a link to. I found a few interesting ones that could be converted to do on a 3800, like the wire loom and stuff. I would suggest that some of you check it out!
