That's a thought- I'll check on that. Ideally I could perhaps make that one of the three map switch positions, just flip it on and off...

Unfortunately I need to reduce engine braking most at the top of the rev range, where it's most of the problem. So I'm not sure going quickly back to 2500 would help, but I'm not familiar with how those throttle stops work. What cars did they come on?

Yea, that'd be interesting to spec. Zero engine braking doesn't sound like fun either...
