OK, so that's the logical operation that decides whether to use FN1119 (Torque Reduction Table) if RPM is greater than or equal to VSBAR (average speed) * TTNOV (RPM to MPH ratio for first gear).

And you're saying that the scalar value for TTNOV is contained at 0x9448 which is great!

I just want to verify why the definition for A9L (TunerPro) created by Clint lists P_7448 (which is equivalent to 0x9448 - no?) as Idle Spark Multiplier - SPKMUL the default value FF (x/256) - is calculated at 1.00. The definition file on the TunerPro page lists 9448 (hex) with a value of B4 or 180 but no Item Name. But for some reason, not a single default value makes any sense when I use the new definition on the TunerPro page (dated 1/23) - perhaps someone can tell me what I have to do to correct this since now the hex addresses read 9xxx etc but the bin values are nonsense. I'm sure it's something simple that us non-digital engineers don't know. I see a note about "padding" the file by 8k to make it 64k - don't know how to do this...

Edit:

OK, I did a "base offset" of -2000 (hex) and that seemed to realign things (which aligns with the 8k "padding" - why not set up the header like this - or is the header independant of the "def" file?). Was that the right way to fix the issue and can someone explain "base offset"?

This number may not need a multiplier. 255 would tend to disable the function since you would need 6.30:1 gears with a T5 to have it kick in - lol. Now if it's x/2, then it would just kick-in with a T5 & 2.73's (or bigger). I guess I'll be doing some experimenting!

If anyone's curious, I'm trying to figure out how to help me launch at the track & eliminate tire spin with a PD blower...
