Default Intake Air Sensor Chip

Cyril, maybe you can answer this one since I've seen previous posts of yours listing an air intake sensor mod...

As I understand it, chips basically work by changing the cars computer reading of the air temperature by overriding the air intake sensor and adding power by allowing more fuel into the engine. From what I've been told it might be slightly harder on the engine than normal, but nothing worth losing sleep over.

Well, there is a kit that was recommended to me to use on the Crossfire. However, this kit COMPLETELY disables the air intake sensor and eliminates any signal to the computer at all... So I'm curious, if this doesn't just kick off the check engine light and / or disable the car to begin with, and if it does work... what damage could this do? Because, even though I do not know alot in this area... I don't see endless amounts of fuel being poured into the engine being a good thing, or the air sensor being entirely disabled being very good either... But I've been told it won't do any damage... Please help me out here.
