I don’t want to hijack the thread but I find this to be really good stuff. Driving near Denver today I explored some of this. I sort of think that driving with the cruise control off you might be ok (5 speed transmission). I found that I use most of the pedal pretty regularly. I have the 5 Star tune and , if I read this thread right, I go into PE at 80% pedal. It’s pretty hard to know where that is exactly but I think I go there regularly in these mountains. I think I read that 5 Star reduces the 60 second timer which probably is good because it’s pretty difficult to keep the pedal down for that long because you get to going too fast.
I’d like to further tweak my transmissions shift strategy. I’d like to reduce the tendency to drop into third gear when fourth works fine at speeds above about 55. That way I could hold WOT (and pedal) on the hills with the rpm staying reasonable. Not a big deal though.
I have a scan gauge back home and I wonder if you can use it to check fuel air mix. I’d like to see what’s actually going on and when PE happens.
One more question, does altitude play any role in all this? Or is that all compensated for?
