[urq] EFI + MAC-14 maxing ataround 5k RPM

It's MAP vs. RPM, for true speed density. MAP vs. TPS (called alpha-N) is only used on race cars. TPS is only there for accel enrichment, where it gives an extra shot of fuel as you open the throttle (like an accel pump on a carb). It's all in the programming.

At any point if injectors are going 100% duty with no load then it's a problem with how the tables are tuned or a basic setting issue. The thing is that based on the log file that Ben sent me his injectores are not going over 70% duty cycle under full load at the boost level he is currently running. I haven't gotten the chance to look at the most recent log file he sent nor the settings, but I'll get to that this evening.
