As I understand it, we're talkig about using feedback from EGO,
for A:F, and the TPS/delta-P/IAT group of data for mass air input.
The system would be tuned by 'seat of the pants' for most of us, and
by dynos, et al, for the priviledged few what has 'em.  So, I view
this as a system that is, for the most part, pre-programmed (a la
speed density), with 'corrections' being made by the feedback
functions.  So, WOT would be 'tuned', and then differing operating
conditions, hopefully, would be handled by looking at those same
feedback functions.  It that's the case, then neither reversion
nor motion sickness should cause any serious grief.  Am I wrong here?
