Question - can I tune the OFT for a more progressive throttle, similar to how old school drive by cable feels? I know that Apex sells a thorttle contraption that can desensitize the throttle, but, I figured the OFT could do it also.

From my pondering on the subject, I understand the ethrottle is telling the ECU what my requested torque is under various load and rpm factors. Is there a way to modify the maps to where 50% throttle gives 50% of throttle?

Thanks.
Yes.
Look up this thread, "http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=719796#post719796" for some in-depth drive-by-wire information by members who have actually made changes to it. You can make similar changes in RomRaider to the ones he made in BRZedit. You will need to get RomRaider and become familiar with using it. Use the correct definition files, OFT, not RR, for editing an OFT tune. Since developing more power, I also think my throttle is a bit too touchy. I'll be getting to this after I finish scaling my MAF. You have much more control of this engine, with drive-by-wire, than you would ever have with a cable throttle. You just need to make use of the possibilities this ECU is capable of.
