- The Nemesis software calculates load on the basis of a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) Sensor in combination with an intake air temp sensor(needs to be fitted).

-Intake restrictions to a single pipe are non-existent so you can effectively run dual intakes, or any intake configuration you think will work best.
- A more accurate reading of actual engine load especially for forced induction applications.
Tom, I presume that like any good aftermarket ECU you can set the 'range' and sensitivity of the MAP and TPS depending on your engine's running parameters.

Example: with big cams comes very low idle vacuum, therefore instead of reading from 20+ inches of vacuum to zero as a range, you might be reading from 8-10 inches of idle vacuum down to zero at WOT. Otherwise the ECU would think you're already at part-throttle even though you're at idle. In a case of low idle vacuum you'd usually rely more on the TPS values.

Hope this makes sense.
