What's the chances of both of y'all having the exact same Cam Deviations to the tenth of a degree (even if they are on opposite banks)? .
Zero.
It makes me wonder if the issue is a bug or limitation in the Bosch firmware. I guess tuners are merely modifying a\f ratio tables vs load\revs and nobody has actually debugged the microprocessor code and reverse engineered why the DME is getting these values.
Socal, I tried my Autotel but didn't notice any camshaft position field, but I will try tomorrow with the engine running. I have a side question about my Throttle Position readings. Is it supposed to go from 0-100%? Mine only goes 0-80%, should I get excited and find I can replace TP sensor and get 20% more throttle? (Picture taken with accelerator to the floor) I will check this on the Durametric tomorrow also.

With the engine off and ignition on, the Foxwell read 'throttle plate angle' at 71% with the pedal to the floor. I'll check it again with the engine running.
I have a weird problem. My Durametric appears not to be able to read camshaft deviation on bank 1. On Bank 2 the deviation is ~0.5 degrees on startup and then when the engine warms up it get to ~1.2 degree. The reading is steady irrespective of RPM, so I am guessing the reason it increases with temperature is because chain length may change a bit as the chain warms up. Either way, no issues on bank 2. However, bank 1 remaining at 0.00 suggests to me not a perfect timing, but that the software simply can't read bank 1 deviation. I have no camshaft position sensor issues and I can monitor Actual angle for inlet camshaft on bank 1 and 2. Anyone know why I can't read bank 1 camshaft deviation?
I should have specified that mine is a 2002, so I have the 3.6 engine. From what I found online the RoW tune on early cars only have bank 1, while all other should have bank 1 and 2 camshaft position deviation. Even if my car were to somehow have RoW tune, bank 1 should always be there and it is the bank 2 that may be zeroed out in that case. How do I confirm the software on my car. I purchased it 4 years ago. I always assumed that it was factory tune, but I don't know how to confirm that. Can any other issue lead to bank 1 not showing a reading for bank 1 camshaft deviation?
FYI I found, using the Durametric logging, that the ratio of pedal position to actual throttle position is variable based on a variety of factors. I think they include engine temp, clutch position, among other things. This obviously only applies to egas models, but worth noting before you go too far down a rabbit hole chasing things.
