What Is Steady State?
Steady state
dynamometer loading is a manner where you can
load the vehicle at a given RPM or MPH and hold
the vehicle there no matter how much the throttle
is depressed. For example you could load a
vehicle at 2000 RPMS at 10% throttle blade
opening, then you could depress the gas pedal to
100% open and the engine RPM would stay at 2000
RPM. This is extremely useful for custom tuning
EFI applications, where you would like to tune
all of the parameters in the 2000 RPM range. This
is a much more enhanced approach to tuning than
full inertia dyno pulls. With a tuning method
like this your car, truck, suv or van will run
and drive more like it did stock but with much
more power and better economy.
We always start with a vehicles baseline pull
with no changes to the PCM (Powertrain Control
Module). At this point it really does not matter
how much power you made at the last dyno. We are
after real gains, what it made before we started
and what it makes when we are complete...
repeatable numbers.
Sounds great, but how
much does this cost?
