On some vehicles, you can put a resistor across the intake air temp sensor. The ECU is programmed to think "The higher the resistance, the colder the air temp; so the higher the fuel requirement". Injecting more fuel will make a little more power.

does anyone know of having a diode put somewhere in the engine compartment to put it in performance mode at all times.

All of that cheap crap will degrade something else.
If you stuff a resistor on the coolant temp sensor, the car will eat more fuel all the time - your gas mileage will suffer significantly.
If you want more performance, drop the money for a fuel computer.
Power is not cheap.
Cheap will usually break something.
