Success! We're taking a staycation upcountry in Kula and decided to take a trip to the top of Haleakala. No one would ride with me (see, I'm surrounded by smart people). The car easily made it to the summit, although it wasn't always exactly where I wanted on the AFR map. Turn out that the main engine load algorithm I configured was the manifold pressure (MAP). Turns out that near the summit, the pressure had dropped by 20 points and I was in uncharted (untuned) parts of the fuel map. It made it just fine, but I had to do a little adjustment to the areas of the map that were heretofore just theoretically important. After doing more research, I'd have been better off configuring using the throttle position sensor (TPS or the Alpha-N algorithm) as the indicator of engine load. This seems to be the recommendation for ITBs anyway so I'll get that reconfigured soon and give it a try.

Huzzah!
