i guess it would because i found online a little thing for like 30 bucks nd all it was, was a different sensor than the stock one thats in the radiator which controls when the fan goes on. It says it makes the fan go on at a little lower temp causing the engine to run slightly cooler. It also said a 2-4 horsepower gain or something.

I concur. I have one of those, couldn't tell a difference, but it looks cool (No Pun). I could tell the difference after using "Engine Ice" coolant for $15.
