Is this a change to make for a 58mm throttle body?

I was thinking that a person would want to lower the values in the "% TPS postion for WOT vs RPM" table. This would compensate for the fact that a smaller % opening with a 58mm throttle body will supply the same amount of air as a larger opening on the stock TB. Therefore, if the numbers in the table are not adjusted down, a car will a 58mm throttle body will be under more load before going to PE mode.

It may not be desireable to stay in closed loop 14.7:1 operation at load levels larger than the stock setting.

Or, will the MAP threshold to enable WOT setting take care of this?

This really only makes a difference at part throttle. But, if you are seeing knock at throttle openings say, 10% less than where it trips to PE, it would be hard to tell whether that is timing related or a result of still running at 14.7:1.
