Hey palemelanesian

So lets see here a couple things if I'm learning correctly

80-90% load as long as I am in closed loop
Short shifts (try to be under 2000 rpm)
Stay in closed loop

What about TPS % I hear a lot of different things?
What is a good WAI Temp or do you look at this?

Also I know people say coast in neautral to a light but what if I'm coming to a stop should I downshift and use my gears to slow down? Doesn't it go into lean mode if I do this?
Coasting in neutral just goes into reguluar idle fuel mixture reading doesn't it?
