    car will not go WOT

    I've never seen this before, and I'm truly baffled.

    This is a car I'm remotely helping somebody with. It is just a simple cam setup with a built 6L80. The trans does great now, but I asked the guy to do some WOT runs to finish setting up the shift points at WOT, and he sent me the following log from a dead swap.

    I cannot find anything in the tune that'd be limiting the blade to ~53%. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking, but this is driving me nuts.

    In the PCM or TCM?

    I didn't set up the PCM side of it.

    Thanks. What is weird is I've done the same thing to other cars and never had an issue. I'll back the values off.

    Hey D,

    Let us know what the results are. I did a couple of full throttle runs tonight while I was data logging, and had a similar result. MAP was at 99-100%, but throttle was straightlined at 85% all the way up the rpm. My throttle values are all set to 100% in the editor - I was about to go check under the pedal for a thick or bunched floormat.
