My question is, how would you tune for low throttle? I've been one sided and always going for the high throttle and going for the best out of my car... But i haven't grasped the concept of how to tune for low throttle.. as of now, i have -15% across the board and I just leave it there... I basically just researched around the forums and find people out there with similar setup that I have and set it to that.. on the other hand.. i set the 1k rpm on the low throttle to where the car doesn't feel rough and just smooth enough.. after that.. i don't know what else to do... also.. another issue is that i have my low throttle point at 25% and high throttle point at 65%... should i change that to 30% to 80%? i see that as a norm for most people...

Thanks for you help..
 
I have my throttle points at 25-75.

But for the low throttle, once your car is fully warmed up sit there at idle and watch your Short term fuel trim. If it is negative that means your rich and need to remove fuel, the opposite for positive. Get it as close to 0 as you can and then repeat for 1.5k,2k,2.5k,3k and 3.5k, you can do these while cruising.

It's really quite simple.
