General

Pedal Position

The percentage of accelerator pedal travel. 100% = wide open throttle (WOT).

Why it matters

TBK Logs uses pedal position to identify WOT zones for analysis. Partial throttle data is excluded from most scoring metrics.

What to look for

Ensure pedal is fully depressed (100%) during your pull for accurate WOT analysis.

Throttle Closure

When the DME reduces throttle angle even though the driver's pedal is at 100%. Used as secondary boost control to prevent overboost or protect the engine.
