    Is it a GIVEN to ALWAYS 0 out Sprak Retard vs Torque Reduction?

    As well as Torque Loss vs Spark Retard?

    Thanks..

    No.

    I use a modified retard vs torque reduction table
    to get a "mellower" but still functional torque
    management.

    There is no need to mess with torque loss vs spark
    retard. That, I think, just poops all over your
    Delivered Torque readings if it does anything at all.

    Wait a sec..

    I am under the assumption that TO DISABLE TORQUE MANAGEMENT, both THESE MUST TABLES MUST BE SET TO 0...

    In the Engine Tab,>General> Torque Management..

    No??

    Can someone who races/tunes please clarify?

    I've always zeroed it out, and have never had any issues. I think it's just one extra step that *may* not be needed, but I do it anyway.

    I agree, this is the way I always did it.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...
