Re: "Abuse Mode" Question (Vettepartz)
Sorry, I should have been more clear. The LS1-Edit has a table for setting parameters for use of the "Abuse Mode". I was wondering exactly what is affected when you enter this mode.

Re: "Abuse Mode" Question
Well, first of all, lets not confuse "Competition Mode" with "Abuse Mode"
"Competition Mode" is entered via the console AH/TC switch and simply disables the TC functions but leaves the AH functions active.
"Abuse Mode" is a function of the PCM and is present as a mechanism to determine when the car is being particularly harshly treated, and is intended to protect mechanical components by limiting delivered torque ,etc. via reduction of available engine power through reductions in timing...
The primary measures are vehicle speed and engine rpm's.. If the car is under a certain speed (typically zero on a stock car) and the rpm's are high (typically over 6000 rpms, this is considered a potentially abusive condition and the PCM will attempt to limit torque so that a clutch dump, or neutral drop, will not damage components...
The Max Torque PCM setting is also critical to the application of this control measure...
