Thanks for taking the time to respond, Jack.

I was under the impression that ECU overclocking was a less-than-desirable tuning solution. Scale the maps, clocks, and hence the rev limit. A few tweaks to fine-tune and you're good to go. Timing issues, relative response time, and hardware reliability can suffer if you don't R&D the heck out of it.

Hypothetically, if the FR-S were to have it's rev limit increased, would the tables need to be scaled?

When I worked for a certain oval-shaped manufacturer, some parts of their strategy were structured to support up to 10+ cylinders and 10+ krpm... even if those values weren't used or developed. Since it's a similar Bosch system, I was curious if it's a "simple" process of overwriting values, or the "complex" methods of scaling either natively or artificially (as mentioned above).

And in case it's not clear... the FR-S/BRZ community really does appreciate aftermarket tuner support. Software engineers and DAGs often put in ridiculous hours (and eye strain) to deliver a quality product. Often without enough so
