WHY 1516 DURING a race? Got code P1516, & REDUCED ENGINE POWER during a race yesterday.
Conditions:
At mid track I lifted, then "quickly" gave it a little gas/lifted 2 or 3 times in a row to "play" with the other guy... Then the REDUCED ENGINE POWER popped up & I glided to the finish line..
I know I should be tapping the brakes instead of doing the multiple on/off throttle bit.. but, any thoughts on this?
Car drives fine, does not stall after spins or abrupt braking...

1516 is usually that you got way more air going in than that table allows. In the VCM there is a 1516 table, if you've modified the car a good deal including heads and cam, you should add to that table, try adding 150% to that table and try again.
