Am I leaving power on the table with no VSS?

A few years ago I converted my 305 TBI to a 350 TPI from a 1990 Iroc. Since my car is a manual and the iroc was an auto, the VSS connections didn't hook up properly. So, basically I became impatient and the car ran well so I didn't worry about it. Am I leaving power on the table with no VSS? I know some things that the VSS controls but can anyone tell me more completly?

At WOT?, no.
Thou, you might get better drivibility with it hooked up.

FWIW,
If you ever get into chip burning, if you edit the .bin file, change 0018 from D8 to 18 and then use C-6 as the speedo input for your VSS (this would be for mask 8D).
Probably could run a lean cruise mode.
There are a bunch of minor differences from a manual to auto trans memcal.
