curious about TPS adjustments....
I was wondering if you turned up the voltage to the TPS over .56 if that would affect anything? Would it make it richer? OR just throw the ECM off thinking the throttle is depressed more than it actually is?? I have a crane cams AFPR set at 46psi....and its great, but was just wondering if adjusting the TPS up more would compliment it...or make things worse. Had some free time at work and started thinking...lol

I played around with that one day at work. Moved it from .46 to about .66, I saw no difference. Throttle response felt the same, BLMs stayed the same...Just my experience for what its worth...

By doing that you are kinda 'confusing' the ecm. In an ideal situation, the ecm looks at the TPS, and knows how much air is going in the engine, and how much fuel and timing to give. So, you 'artificially' raise the TPS setting to something else, and the ecm is now thinking that there is more air going in (the throttle plate is open wider) and so we need more fuel and different timing, right?
Doesnt mean it wont work for you, might make things better, might not. Its all about finding the right setting, not the highest one.

It's not going to make any difference. The ECM uses a delta in TPS position to calculate additional fuel delivery. That is, for any given abrupt change throttle position, the ECM is going to look at the difference between where the throttle was and where the throttle is. So the starting voltage is inconsequential.
