In my previous car (Mazdaspeed3) it was discovered that the computer would change the throttle opening (throttle by wire like most new cars) independent of driver input (in percent, 100% being full open) as the engine reached red line. With 280hp and frontwheel drive, one can understand why the computer would have some override capabilities in lower gears and speeds, but the throttle would be around 50% 500rpm before redline (driver is asking for 100%). Presumably it was a safety measure because of the high boost levels and high RPM, but does the V have similar mapping for the throttle? There was a reflash from a vendor called "full control" that kept traction/stability control features in tact, but when you wanted 100%, you got it. Interestingly the peak HP/TQ remained roughly the same, but both climbed sooner, became steeper in the midrange and flat all the way to fuel cutoff (vs. the stock bell curve). Clearly we are dealing with different vehicle architecture, but just curious about it.

You can get a dyno custom tune that benefits the V or buy effective mail aways. Search Wait For Me tune.

I don't know if there is a "throttle control limitation" built into the stock tune. You can turn off torque management, skip shift, and manipulate A/F ratios, timing, rev limiter and much more. Like you said, different car, different tuning issues/capabilities.

Yes, there is a throttle control table that helps limit wheel spin under wide open throttle.

Mine is set to 100% all across.

Would you be able to bounce off the rev limiter if the throttle was reduced to 50% 500 rpm before redline? Seems like you would never reach the rev limiter if that was the case

Are you talking about the "ETC Limits"?

You can deff hit the rev limiter at 50%. Just not as fast as 100%.

I'm familiar with the available ECM tuners, but my OP was more about how our throttle inputs at the peddle were translated to the throttle body. I guess turning off TC would give me more control over throttle openings.
