I know on the Evo X, you can log the accelerator position separate from TPS - lets you know what the ECU is actually doing to limit throttle.

I'm guessing this won't tell you anything if what I've learned about the VVEL system is true - you'd have to be logging some other value that tells you how much valve lift the ECU is requesting of the VVEL system.
