Nope. As far as I've seen, it only affects Torque Management.

Default Question on Spark Retard Limit Tab???????

If I zero the numbers out or raise the number to 15 will this disable the spark retard for the knock sensors? <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

Yip, you raise it to 15-20. Should work very well for getting rid of TM.

dirtyz, those fools did do a good job of confusing us. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I'm almost positive that you raise the numbers to anywhere from 15 to 20 so that is the lowest your timing will drop to after shifts.

You really should be able to get rid of TM without setting this table - if you are still having problems after doing the obvious things (raising max torque to 1000, zeroing the torque reduction tables (not the tcs tables), etc. try the upshift torque reduction (new in 1.1)

Which is it?

Not anymore <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

That was my theory, but TCS tables - as far as my experimentation is concerned - only apply to traction control situation; not torque management. Zeroing them will greatly reduce (if not disable) TCS functionality.

It seems the value we have been missing is the upshift torque reduction. Zero this instead. (and let me know how it works!)

Hmm, I don't have traction control on my Z28. Shouldn't effect me then, right?

As for the upshift reduction, is that on the new version of LS1Edit?
