First off, keep the 6-ports & VDI working if you can. Wiring them open costs you low end torque. Unless you are racing all the time, that's a big deal. It's nice to be able to make at 60mph uphill pass without having to drop to 3rd and make a fuss (as my wife would say). Of course when she is not along, I go to 3rd

I'm assuming you have a '89-91. If so, then yes, it will hurt your performance drastically. Keep it working properly.

BTW - I think RETed is on vacation.

The couple of lbs lighter and HP that you would gain from removing the airpump would not offset the low end loss of torque that you would also gain
