MAC-10 connector wires-BIGGER Question

[John Karasaki <johkar@teleport.com>]

Ok, here's the BIGGER question:  If I have a California 5ktq and only the
automatic trans boost limiter wire is cut, should I cut the CA emmisions
wire.  I live in Oregon and this will never again be a CA car, so will my
performance improve if I cut this wire?

I have a copy of the ecu's code, but am pretty computer language illiterate.
Anyone know exactly what that one state only wire controls?
