The Video of gauge operation is a Viper not a Sidewinder but operation of gauge is almost identical. Obviously there were changes made in the values and the Sidewinders got more data. Glad the low reading for TPS is actually supposed to be that way since its degrees. Cool! Someone should make a Sidewinder operation video but with a nice looking girl with clean fingernails!

I can Jim.....but this is all about the stock gauge for now brother.
Good call on the % vs Degrees!

THANK YOU FORUM! 
This was abit of a test to see what stock gauge reads for winders....If you read my OP closely, you saw I only was able to dig up stock gauge TPS info from Vipers.
I KNEW my LOGS show 100% ''throttle position" thru my GAP flasher, and so I knew I was pulling full throttle. My question was why the stock gauges would show 79.
Travis replied to me earlier with confirmation that his was also 79 degrees. But I felt we needed a good "consensus" of users as Travis and I both run the Apex Japan throttle and I wanted to rule that out.
So I truly appreciate everyone who chimed in for me....this is good info to have for others who think the gauge should read 100, like the Viper does.
Thanks Everyone!

Interesting the Viper is % and winder is Degrees....Great catch JIM! I had not even noticed that brother!

So anybody know what all these other things in diagnostic mode are for
No Thank You for bringing it to my attention. I knew there were differences just not what they all were. Someday may have a Winder to play more with but for now dont ever hesitate to correct me or state differences. I bet we will find more things different with them in future also. Will add the differences in the sticky in Faq. TPS is pretty important since many set the throttle play using that reading. I never have myself. Always use a credit card.
Just to add another data point, here is my TPS reading:

Soo the way ive know how TPS delivers data on automotive tuning HP tunersor EFI live is... if the throttle bodies are at 10-11 degrees open at idle as stated here on previous response, and tps is zeroed out at that... then when throttle is opened to the WOT position (90 deg from verticle) that would equate to a 79-80 degree movement as read on guage....11+79=90
