What you refer to is known usually as 'Hybrid Alpha-N' which was pioneered on the F40 IIRC. MS can be run in speed desnity mode, MAF mode, alpha-n mode and hybrid alpha-n mode, but most run speed density with only a very small handfull on either form of alpha-n. Anyways, yeah Bens setup is on MAP vs RPM with modifiers like air temp, coolant temp, TPS accel enrichment (like a carburettor accel pump).

He did say that, but was speaking out of context.

I just looked at a log file where Ben started the engine and slowly let it run up to 5k. Duty cycle is perfectly fine, never higher then 50%.
