Do you have any photos? This is something I would have to try but my car is increadably hard to work in. The engine is cramed in really tight so it is hard to fix or modify anything. I am lead to belive that if you are going down to a 1k resistor an the engine is thinking that it's driving through hell, then you would get considerably less power out of the engine. You could add a multi throw switch to modify the resistor value without having to pull over and replace the resistor.
Throw a temperature sensor of your own in there so it starts out on the 1k resistor in the summer at a certain temperature, and on the 10k in the winter below another temp.
The first photo is the air intake a few inches past the air filter is the temperature sensor. The second photo shows the plug removed from the temperature sensor and a 1K resistor is inserted into the plug. 1K = Brown Black Red. I have a twist tie holding the plug to the temperature sensor so it won't go flopping around all over the place.
