Thread: Torque reduction?

When tuning the torque reduction tables is there any reason to have the tables set to take the timing lower than 0?

For example:

The the reference table (Torque abuse spark) that I have says basically to subtract 11 degrees if set at 5% and 16 degrees if set at 10%

In my torque reduction tables in the 3rd to 4th up-shift table it goes up to 15% which would be subtracting 19 degrees of timing. Now If I am running 16 degrees of timing this would take all my timing away and then some.

I think you want to not enter into torque abuse mode. Most canned tunes have it disabled.

The only reasons to use the upshift torque reduction tables would be under normal shift mode for a smoother ride and to put less stress on the transmission. I keep it stock for normal shift and use a low percentage for perf shift.

I think this table comes specially handy to save your 4th gear which I think it tends to fail a lot.

True. But I am wondering what the advantage is to taking, lets say 20 degrees of timing away when you are only running 16.
