The IAT mod is very similar to the ECT mod in concept. I have babble about the latter here:

Engine performance mods with gas prices like they are aren't really recommended.

I wasnt sure, cause on the diesel motors some of these performance chips, etc are boosting power and increasing fuel mileage. ... as long as you dont have a heavy foot.

In general, you have to burn more fuel to get more power. There are ways to burn more of the fuel you have (e.g., muti-discharge spark systems), and to burn it more efficiently (e.g., water misting) but the other side of those solutions is that you want to play with the skinny pedal more and you end up blowing through more fuel.
