The numbers on the left are for the amount of pressure (boost). It should also have vacuum when it is finally released. Look at this stock 1G timing map for an example.






Having it setup for throttle position is dumb IMO. Your car will make different amounts of power at a certain throttle position based on your speed. Let's say 50% throttle. If you are at 2,000rpm in second gear and put it 50% throttle you are going to be making more power than if you are cruising at 50% throttle. More power, as you know, means more pressure in the cylinder which means more of a chance to knock. That means you would need a less aggressive tune for accelerating in second verse cruising. So what would you set it up for? Cruising at 50% throttle or accelerating at 50% throttle? Either way the other one won't be right. Get what I'm saying?
