Make sense? Replacing the Intake air temp sensor with a resistor is a pretty common practice though.
a resistor to increase te fuel injection? dont u need a potentiometer? then u can set it to xxx ohm, and increase the fuel ratio.

i think u are right about removing the sensor, because of the airflow measurments c.q. fuel injection.

when i said before i think the computer will go in a dry run program when removing the computer. Some guys who drives on the circuit are driving in this program, becouse of the simple program, without environmentally aspects. They can change the program (dont know how..) for high performance and get a 'race program' i know u can do this with BMW.
can be done with the 5.0 eec?
