Correct, you would lose duty cycle readings. But which of the previously listed values would be affected?? I didn't say no values would be affected, don't read extra stuff in that's not there. Also, as mentioned, any value that was clamped, you wouldn't see above that. So far CMD doesn't alter timing or throttle postion in any way though, so those two would still be correct with CMD. I don't think they've mentioned anything about adding any throttle control in the future either.
With RRM the same as above would be true, except perhaps MAP, since we don't know if it clamps. Timing would also be read incorrectly using a scangauge with RRM, i think. I also would hope, and assume, that RRM isn't messing with throttle settings, no need.
It doesn't make a scan gauge useless with CMD or RRM.

I should never have used the word clamp I should have stuck with fooling the ecu, would that be a better term.
One post and you ripped me a new one,Tks for the warm welcome

My day was great actually. Your first post on the forum, instead of being "Hey guys new to the site....", was a post making minimal sense with incorrect information. I corrected that information. If you take offense to having misinformation corrected and not getting a big hug, then my apologies. WELCOME TO THE SITE!
