Well yes and no. The PGM is programmed with a different curve for each gear, so we fool it into giving more power by only using the first three curves.

Personally I'd agree that the wire splice seems neccessary, but if the splice is carried out already by the loom (and let's face it HRC would know of the ignition maps) then there's no need.

Clear as mud.
