If TPS monitors your throttle plate instead of throttle pedal, then it will be very interesting to watch.

I hear LOD (engine output as a percent of max at that RPM) is interesting on a CVT + IMA. If the engine has different operating regimes, you'll want to keep it in the most efficient ones. Maybe things change suddenly beyond a certain RPM.

I'd be interested in knowing how much fuel pressure varies during the course of everyday driving. That's because I'd like to know if it's valid to use cumulative fuel injector pulsewidth as a stand-in for fuel consumption.
