    Default E38 Hard Limits? Hitting a brick wall at 7059RPM???

    2010 Camaro
    Whipple Supercharger @ 9psi
    Custom Cam w/ Necessary Valvetrain Upgrade
    Necessary Fuel System Upgrades

    For diagnostic purposes I have turned off the rev limiters, torque management, speed limits, maxed out the diagnostic parameters for MAF, MAP, ETC and right at 7059rpm the engine hits a brick wall. The car is currently in maf only mode making 657RWHP on my MD

    Any thoughts?

    Are you seeing the throttle position close when it hits the limiter?

    I will post up the log....yes, right when this happens the throttle seems to be closing. With the delays in the logs it may be right when I do lift off.

    Sounds like TPS vs airflow rationality checks may be coming in to play. Are there any DTC's ?

    No DTC's. Where is the TPS .vs. airflow setting? I may have already maxed this all out

    C0803, C0804, C0805, C0806

    these will trigger "reduced power" mode, especially on throttle close.

    That is what I thought.....those are all maxed out. This happens before lifting off the throttle. I stay in it and the engine just hits a brick wall. See the end of the run. This is with rev limit and everything else removed. Right at the end you can see it hit a brick wall while I am still on the throttle. Look at the other ETC values as it seems the throttle is closing
