TPS based VE multiplier table, 33 x 17 cells with configurable TPS and RPM axes
MAP referenced "Boost Enrich" table
Boost Enrich MAP threshold and hysteresis value
Both MAF and Speed Density mode supported
Boost based fuel cut, selectable MAP threshold cuts fuel to all cylinders when exceeded
Rescaled fan temperature axis 163-250F (73-121C), stock is 192-250F (89-121C)

Would there be any advantage of using a 2 or 3 bar Custom OS on a Naturally Aspirated Engine?

In most cases, no. Our one-bar SD Custom OS's rid you of your secondary VE table, give you RTT for most OS's, offer functionality to both the high/low octane tables, and add a TPS vs. RPM multiplier. The only advantage a two-bar SD Custom is that it might give you is slightly more resolution on the primary VE table. However, in most cases this isn't worth the extra time and effort.
