How bad could this be hurting my performance? (pic)

After going to the track and running mid 15s at 94mph, with my full bolton and cam car i started looking for what could be wrong

I was getting an opti code, specifically the wiring harness going into the opti, so i pulled the plug out and Here is what i found.

So can anyone tell me how much this could really be hurting my performance? I have a new opti and plugs/wires.

Well I'd say if you're getting an opti code and the thing looks like that then it's definetely part of your problem.

I dont see how it could be hurting me 2 seconds worth tho. As long as all the cylinders are getting spark it couldnt affect much else could it?

It's hurting you bad enough to throw a code.

No I'd say that is not your whole problem, though.

what code is it? a high res code? you better belive thats hurting you. if your lacking the high res signal then your ign timing is based on the low res signal which means bad performance, gas milage... can;t say that it's hurting you 2 seconds worth but it is hurting

A bad opti could cost as much as 100 RWHP or more on a cam/heads car. I've seen live proof of that on a dyno just a couple of days ago. (AFR was right at 13)
