Ok, I set the gauge as you suggested and tested it out. I am now wondering if there is a calibration that I need to do for this part of the gauge as well. I have calibrated the speed, engine size, tps, but even if I floor the silly thing I only bring the LOD to ~40 ( the mpg drops to 1.5-2, tps is 100, tires are squalling ) If not then i suspect I would have to be pulling or carrying a lot of weight to get the engine to preform at 60-80% capacity. It "seems" like the 20% range is where it shifts about right but still accelerates quick enough that the Police look at me and stare a bit... My "normal" acceleration would only pull about 8-10% but then my "normal" driving habits are what I am trying to fix.
