The positive side of torque management Doing some PE tweaking and looking at the Predator
RT for knock retard, I find that when I'm just on
the edge of KR, the acceleration event that puts
me over into it is the upshift. The sudden RPM
drop I guess just gets ahead of the spark advance
and I get a KR blip to 1.48, and then I see it
decay slowly back to zero.
I guess it the torque management had been there to
back it off 2 degrees during the shift, I would
have had the max spark back sooner?
Wonder whether a TM with much-reduced spark pullback,
but keeping it at maybe 1.5-2 degrees, would be the
overall best compromise. I could dump a bit less
fuel for the same spark, then.
