I'd be on newer cars as ours it would be on the low side of that figure

Not to mention the much higher underhood temps and running cooling fans. Next time you guys try the a/c quarter thing dont use the a/c until 1 or 2 seconds before the launch. this will keep the heat from building up before the run and give closer results.You may still see a small difference from the a/c being on right before WOT. I suppose if you were curious enough you could wire a temporary light to the a/c compressor to prove it. From looking at various year lt1 files all the LT1's were cutoff at 99.6% and the L99's were 92.2%. I checked both b and f body files. Dont know on the LSx. I also suppose that those of you that dont actually get the cutoff may not be getting 100% on the TPS. Might want to check that!
what he said...if the clutch isn't kicking off, ya got some TPS issues
