Custom Dyno Tuning:

       Keith has been tuning EFI cars on various dynos since the late 90’S before he decided on the “Dyno Dynamics” dyno from Australia in 2003.  This is the same dyno that Peter Star (Star Performance) uses when doing R&D for “Holden”.  The dyno has what is called a steady state feature, this allows the tuner to lock the load of the car into a parameter where you maybe having an issue.  This will allow the tuner to pin point the problem so it can be resolved.  It also allows the tuner to properly tune all the fuel (VE or Maf) and timing tables (Low load or High load-PE/WOT) over the entirety of its cells. A load bearing dyno applies a load to the car to help simulate its weight and an optimum traction condition which aids in a proper & safe tune. Without a proper load a tuner can put to much spark in various cells which will show up as an increase in power on the dyno but on the road can cause detonation (Pre-ignition) which will result in less power than the car made on the dyno & can severely damage the engine.  By tuning a car with a load you not only get good results under wide open throttle but your car will have good transient fueling so it will perform just as well under part throttle. In addition to the dyno with its wide band we also have a 5-Gas Analyzer; sometimes referred to as a smog machine (We do NOT do smogs). This can help to diagnose a problem and in some instances aid in tuning a car.  When tuning a car there is very little airflow through the radiator since the car is not moving so to help keep the car cool we have a 12,000 cfm swamp cooler to aid in keeping the engine temperatures at a safe level.

       Keith has been tuning EFI cars since the late 90’s and has a wide range of knowledge in the computer programming field.  For the newer Chevy vehicles we have “LT-1 Edit”, “LS-1 Edit” & “EFI Live”, for the Fords we use “SCT Custom Tuning Software” and for the stand alone systems we primarily use “Accel” GEN VII or “John Meany’s “Big Stuff 3”. The stand alone systems are primarily used for race applications or for the older cars that desire the power, dependability, drive ability & gas mileage that modern day electronic fuel injection offers.. 

       One must understand that a dyno is just another tool that is used to safely find the maximum power potential of you combination & precisely dial in the drivability.  There are those who down size dynos and their roll in tuning a car properly, some say street tuning is better.  Most of these people make this claim because they can not afford a dyno and are trying to generate business by false claims.  If they are successful enough to stay around then they will eventually end up with a dyno.
