Tuner Pro vs TunerCat Constant names
I was using Tuner Pro last night and I found something very disturbing.
I am using ver 4.0 and have not upgraded to 4.13, so these may have been changed. I also have TunerCat Which the constant names are not the same...
I used the same BIN for both of these.
Constant names:
TunerProRT - "Minimum RPM for highway spark mode" = 6350
TunerCat - "MAXIMUM RPH for highway spark mode" = 6350
TunerProRT - "Minimum speed MPH to enable Highway Fuel Mode" = 55 MPH
TunerCat - "Max Speed for Highway Fuel Mode" = 55 MPH
One is not correct, and I am not sure which. The Minimum RPM at 6350 seems awful high, and the Max speed at 55 mph seems low...

Highway mode in the original code did not work properly without doing some rework to it.
Also I do believe the tables min/max were labled wrong way back when.(even the hack I think?)
Best bet to make it work is tie them together so u either have both or none.

Jeremy,
THe problem is if I change the value in one program it changes in the other.
So if I change my TunerProRT - "Minimum RPM for highway spark mode" to 1800 then TunerCat will report "MAXIMUM RPH for highway spark mode" as 1800.
One thing that I think it may be is that the Definition that I was using in TUnerCat was 6eX and the definition in TunerPro is 6E... When I change TunerCat to 6EX then the values have the same name.
Does anyone know how to get better milage?
