Press the throttle to the floor
Press in the clutch (RPMs start to fall)
shift
release the clutch fully (no foot on the clutch pedal any longer)
the car "forces" the drop, ie I get engine braking until the 3000rpm drop is complete at which time the car starts accelerating again.

oh i see what you mean.
no - that's not how it works. once the conditions for NLTS are no longer met (speed/tps/clutch) NLTS restores the normal revlimitter.
You can test that in the garage as well, set your drop to 2500, rev to 3000, clutch in... wait for the revs to drop to 2000 and let clutch out... the revs shouldn't fall all the way to 500 (3000-2500)
I suspect your leaving your foot on the clutch OR you clutch pedal isn't coming out the whole way for some reason...

It works just fine and that test was done. The issue is when the clutch is released fully before the RPM drop is complete. So for example, if we have the RPM drop set at something silly like 3000rpm and I do the following:
Press the throttle to the floor
Press in the clutch (RPMs start to fall)
shift
release the clutch fully (no foot on the clutch pedal any longer)
the car "forces" the drop, ie I get engine braking until the 3000rpm drop is complete at which time the car starts accelerating again.

hey tephra i have a question...now i normally had my clutch switch disconnected for my remote start...however i like the NLTS so i had it connected while teesting and of coarse i can't remote start at the moment..especially with this weather in NJ felt like -5 degrees today..but is there a way when i'm leavin car to disable that switch like for instance holding down fog light button or something for 3 sec...than i can enable it after gettin in the car if i want NLTS..and fog light dashboar light flash or something to enable and disable the clutch switch...?

Is it necessary to use the supplied ROM? I ask because I'm curious how my old tuner just added the mod's within a few seconds, I'd imagine if he was copying all of the old values from my un-modded map to your supplied maps tephra, that it'd take him a little longer then just a few minutes.

Yeah you need the new ROM that Tephra posts up, thats what have the patch embedded in it. If you've done enough of them, it only takes maybe 5 minutes to do it. When I was testing some patches for Teph, I got a new version every day for a week. I got REALLY fast at them in no time.
He probably already has all of his XML files edited though, that way it is in fact a simple copy and paste ordeal.

Tephra, are there any differences in the NLTS in this patch versus you newer one with ALTmap. I am asking because i installed this patch months ago and ive been doing it great, but as soon as i upgraded its not acting the same. When i put the cluth in under full throttle it pops real loud like its hitting a rev limiter than after that first pop it gets past it and goes all the way to my actual rev limiter.... its like its trying to do the NLTS but then failing when i switch back to this older patch it works fine
