Map sensor

Does unhookin your map sensor give any kind of power gain?

Not that i know of. All i know is that if you have a fueling box that plugs in to the map sensors you can unplug the stock plug and just leave the fueling box plug in to over ride the signal. All it does is make a bunch of smoke. To Me there is no sop power gain. I dont know what would happen if you unpluged it on a stock truck but i dont think the truck will run very well because it needs imput from that sensor to fuel. With my comp box it shure can put on a smoke show.

One guy dynoed his comp with the map plugged and unplugged and gained 10 hp and I believe 15 tq on the dyno. That's enough for me to run around with it unplugged.

I hope it works with my box. It is a D-Box. I think made by Edge "the Ez" i think. Only thing is, is that it has a Superchips logo on it and i have never heard of superchip making a box like the ez. I bought it from a guy used.

On a stock truck, if you unplug the MAP, it'll have no power and throw you some codes. Gotta have a box to make it worthwhile
