(I dont think anyone has done it yet) would have loved to have seen you do it last weekend when I was down that would have been pretty cool to see.

Is there anything that can be done regarding tuning to reduce this problem (maybe setting a delay), or just smashing the gear lever as fast as possible?Probably a dumb question but you have to ask!It would be great to see your car run that 10, keep at it!Cheers Alf.

What do you mean throttle control tuniing? This is a new concept for me.The pcm has a number of RPM limits, and limiting techniques. The factory limits have the throttle rpm limit set to 6000rpm, so as its approching 6000rpm, it starts closing. Most tuners disable this by setting it to say 7000rpm. Then there's also cylinder drop, which depending on model is anywhere from 6150 to 6300rpm. When this limit is exceeded, it drops cylinders. This is also known as hard cut.By strategically adjusting the Throttle limit, as well as the Hard limit, they can be setup so on a manual vehicle, you can keep the throttle mashed, even whilst changing gear, and the engine RPM will not buzz out of control whilst the clutch is depressed.Its something I found without knowingly doing it.. One of the car's I tuned come back to me, and said "watch this vre, full flat shift" (yes, he was greek)d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
