You don't need to add more columns to your tables, you just need to change the axes of the colums so that you can change the increments.

below the actual tables in each section are little tables of columns that show the normalizers for each axis.
Such as this example for the maf tables:

ynorm_maf_01(stock) xnorm_maf_01(stock)
TP Row # RPM Col #
1023.9844 9 16383.75 9
750 9 7000 9
500 8 4000 7
300 6 3000 6
0 0 1800 2
0 0 600 0
0 0 0 0
0 0


The first column is ynorm_maf and the second is xnorm_maf.

the Y axis is the value in Throttleposition counts for the stock MAF at each row. The zeros are just blanks that can be used if you want to specify more of the rows.
The top row number is 9 meaning there will be 10 rows in the table the bottom being 0. That means that the number of row s will be 10, with the range of TP going from 0 to 750. THe 6 row will be 300, 8th 500, and 9th 750. Well if you look at it, that means that from rows 0-6 you have a TP value of 0-300, meaning that the computer will automatically assign a value for rows 1,2,3,4,5 in equal spacing.
Like this:
0 - 0
50 - 1
100 - 2
150 - 3
200 - 4
250 - 5
300 - 6

And so on. If you wish, you can change the top end of the scale from 750 to say 900 at row 9 and specify the 0 position as zero. The computer would assign all values in between evenly. IF you felt the need to specify exact areas of TP then you can do as above, up to and including using every cell to specify a rang of TP.

For the RPM range it is the same way.
Say you want extra precision in your table from 3200-3800 rpm so you can tune that area in better detail. It would look like this:
0 - 0
0 - 600
2 - 1800
3 - 3200
4 - 3400
5 - 3550
6 - 3700
7 - 3900
9 - 7000
9 - 16383.75

The bottom 0 - 0 and 16383.75 - 9 is automatic and defines the min/max values for the table. Anything you input falls in between. By assigning 7000rpm the value of the 9th column you end the range there rather than at 16383rpm. Anything above 7000 rpm will use the same values as you input into the cells below the 7000 rpm range at the respective TP values.

So, if you don't car and want even spacing assigned by the computer you do the following
0 - 0
....(meaning other cells filled with 0 - 0)
0 - 600
9 - 7000
9 - 16383.75
Now the computer will assign the rpm to the ten columns evenly from the two values in even increments, 640 rpm each so that column 0 - 640, 1 - 1280, 2 - 1920, ... 8 - 6360, 9 - 7000.


Okay, hope this is clear enough on how to modify the axes for ANY of the tables in your PRP setup.
I advise you to NOT adjust the ranges unless you have something you want to do. For example fuel and or timing control of the IMRC point, or changing the RPM range of the actual IMRC point. You can specfiy added areas of rpm and load for the IMRC opening/closing points to take care of certain problems, or to smooth transitions out.
Also, if your rpm range is raised and you feel you need to alter something at rpms above 7000 rpm, in such a way that the values used in the cells below 7000 rpm doesn't apply, then you would make your upper limit the rpm where you want to change that thing, such as 7200 rpm; say for increased fuel at the top of the range for added resistance to detonation.

Clear? Clear as Mud I'll bet. Well don't anyone go PM'ing me over this. IF you have questions post them here where others who have time and experience can elaborate on this stuff and when I get time I'll come back on and help.
With the frequency of people buying the PRP going up, this kind of information will become more usefull, and when people understand that tuning isn't Voodoo or Rocket science then maybe there will be less people paying through the nose when they really want to do the detail work themselves.
Good luck.
