heheh, I don't mind the hijacked thread as long as people are happy contributing. I do really appreciate the amount of knowledge that is distributed around the country in all of your heads. I totally agree with tuning being 100% science, but when you don't have the ECM code, that's when tuning becomes more of a religion and people rely on anecdotal evidence and hivemind beliefs. I am a software engineer, and do happen to know how to do regressions, neural networks, PID feedback loops even know a little bit about cars
but I don't know the GM ECM operating system code, so I am trying to learn just like everyone else. Anyways, you are all appreciated for your help! (getting back on track)
TriPinTaZ said something interesting,
"You always want Zero Pedal Torque around ~0 so that it has room to add/remove torque for the A/C, alternator load, power steering pump(in some cases) or when you put it in gear for Automatic Transmission cars"
If that is true then could I log Engine Torque - ZPET and to backfill the torque tables? Doing so should end up offsetting the base torque table by the ZPET, and when running should produce a ~0 ZPET, if I'm thinking straight.
