Default calibrating throttle by wire ??
While on the dyno using HP Tuner throttle only showed 88% is there a way to adjust the throttle plate?

are you sure your tb is only opening 88%? u can double check by removing the intake, looking at the tb while in key on engine off mode then have someone step on the throttle all the way.

I believe the TPS is calibrated to show 88% when the blade is wide open. It is used as a check for proper operation of the sensor. A (0% or) 100% reading can only occur if the sensor has failed.
