It would be interesting write the options used for throttle responsive, turbo spool, turbo responsive and others....
If members want to add that to their original survey post, they can.

Can't this forum use a google spreadsheet to track these builds? It's nearly annoying having to go through a bunch of pages...
The tuning study just started a few days ago. Give us time to build it up and at some point hopefully that might happen.

I think most of us are fine with Status Quo. But by all means, feel free to collate what's been shared so far and send to @gtman to have hosted on the first page. :cool:
