If you start the pull at 2000 that's about all the better it gets. If it makes 100 horse and 150 torque that's what you have at cruising speed. Whats it take to power a 3000# car to 55 mph? 50 horse or less?
That’s what I’m saying Mike. You don’t test at part throttle.
Who drives at WOT at 2000 RPM? No one certainly cruises at 2000 RPM at WOT.
Thats not what these types of engine dyno’s are for. The OEM’s have dyno’s that can test that type of thing but the average shop can’t afford the millions of dollars it takes to buy and equip a dyno like that.
You can set the dyno to part throttle at 2000 RPM and use the trace record feature (on Performance Trends software) and test for ignition timing, emulsion and some other things, but you don’t cruise at WOT.
The question above is why don’t they start the pulls down at 2000 RPM and I gave a somewhat detailed answer as to why it isn’t done.
