Throttle % reading in TorquePro software suspect
Using Torque Pro in the 03 EX V10 for several months now, happy enough. An issue I am having, which may not be an issue, is the throttle % open/used reading. At idle, warmed up, and in park, Torque reports the throttle at 16.3%, idle speed ~850rpm and the physical throttle linkage arm just shy of bottoming out with about one turn of the stop adjustment screw. If I turn the engine off, leaving it in RUN, and put the pedal to the floor, the reading is 92.5%. Truck runs fine, but perhaps there's a Torque calibration I need to do to get proper readings?

Ford PCM calculates/calibrates TPS each time engine is started. It's kinda screwy but approximately 17% to 20% at idle is correct. It's one of the reasons I did not tune my pcm for my supercharger. I had a professional do it.
I cannot get to 100% even with throttle at wot. Best I've seen is 98%. That could be due to my elevation....7200 ft.
