The computer AUTOMATICALLY calibrates the ENTIRE EFI STRATEGY based on the starting voltage of the TPS. It makes NO DIFFERENCE what the voltage is set at.

If your base TPS voltage starts at 0.5, the computer recognizes 4.5 as WOT. If its 0.6, then WOT becomes 4.6, etc etc(not entirely true, but good enough for example)

Everything in this thread, except for Joel and Adder, is complete hogwash myth.

People believe that setting the TPS higher will make the computer think you're already into the throttle a bit, therefore adjusting fuel curves for the entire RPM band. This is false. The computer recognizes the starting voltage of the TPS, WHEREVER it is, as an idle voltage and adjusts the entire system accordingly.
