- Yes it is the wire number 11. It gives about 3-4 HP. The way I did it,
- and I suggest you do it also, is not by cutting the wire but just taking
- it out from the connection. So just undo the plug from the computer box,
- indo the connectors, and push out wire 11, put tape on it and reconnect.
- This way if you ever have to put it back, you just slip it in.
-
- The wire cutting just makes the engine think it has an 86 engine.
-
- Good Luck,
