Sealevel load scaling vs RPM


Definition: Peak Load values for given RPM input

Platform: 88-95 MAF based models

X Value: RPM

Min: 0

Max: 16384.74

Y Value: Load

Min: 0

Max: 1.997

Description:
Peak load at sea level as a function of RPM. Maximum LOAD at sea level (29.4 dry barometer, 100 deg. f) Input = N (RPM).

Hints:
tells the EEC the maximum VE your engine can produce. Then when the EEC wants to know if you are at 50% load, it is 50% of this theoretical max. If for example your engine with modifications now breaths much better than stock, you can really be at 50% load but the EEC thinks it is at 80%. This is often the problem if you have a bucking problem at decell or light load.



As an idea, I set mine all to 100%, set my displacement correctly, and rescaled my fuel and spark tables to max at 180%.
Now, my load number corresponds (more or less) to a manifold pressure/cylinder pressure kind of number. 180% is 1.8 atmospheres, more or less. This lets me create a "boost retard" and "boost enrichment" kind of tune.
