whatever).

Anyway, when you meet the conditions to enable
PE, you enter open loop and then pick the chubby
option. If OLFA(MAP,ECT) is greater than the PE(RPM)
then you get the OLFA value.

This really gives you one and one-half degrees of
freedom in tuning WOT. A MAP based enrichment,
and an RPM based one. But the "pick fatter" limits
what you can do, some.

You might find it better to tune as far as possible
with the OLFA table, and then use PE just to tweak
the top end (where the injector table, etc. may fail
to properly model plumbing flow-pressure drop, etc.).
PE gets all the attention but OLFA and the MAP
relation to required enrichment I think is more to
the point.
Correct me if I am wrong, but if you have the VE tuned correctly for SD and your MAF calibrated, then as long as you are in closed loop you would get the closed loop AFR (14.63 or whatever), but if you go into OL, you get the fattest table ? So you can tell the OLFA table to be 13 and maybe the PE to be 12.6 and still get 14.7 in closed loop, right ?

So what exactly is Engine Protection, seems like it is an OL table too ?

Went back to the dyno. It was the OLFA table that was doing it.
Was able to get the AFR much better under the curve and with some extra timing, gained about 20-30lb torque.
