I have done this back and forth a few times in ECM Spy to my 12 and noticed it felt a bit snappier and also the rev's don't hang as much. Engine speed comes down quicker and doesn't feel so much like it has a 50 lb flywheel. Pops a little more on deceleration though. Nice free mod.
I traced white wire in scamatics it runs to the vss and to the gage cluster. not sure yet what in all the vss accounts for yet but when i find out i'll post it vss= vehicle speed sensor
the only thing i can find so far are the pin outs of the plugs on pinout.ru according to them it is the same on the 9 and the 12. so it should be blocking or disabling the same signal
Pretty sure they said this above already, but the white wire carries a fuel limiting signal. By disconnecting your are turning off that fuel limiter. e.i. more power.
