Default MAF & IAT unplugged (how bad did it hurt performance?)

ok guys, im oficially an idiot. i was cleaning my car yesterday and i looked at my lid and noticed something, my Maf sensor and IAT sensor were both unplugged. i already have a SES light because i dont have egr and air so im sure it threw a code but i couldnt see it.

i know i unplugged it a while ago when i cleaned of my Maf screen but i guess i forgot to plug it back in.

i raced a few people since then, and the car felt real sluggish in lower rpms driving normal but now its nice and smooth in low rpms. but i havnt gotten on it lately.

how bad do you think this stupid mistake hurt my performance.

i would think it would be a lot since its not getting any readings and running in open loop.

I have done the same thing. It suffered just a little bit.

It also knocks you down to the low-octane spark tables.
