Fuel system calibration is the key to performance and drivability, so, besides building an understanding of what affects performance in all kinds of engines, we use the dyno to 'finish the job'. Which is to say, calibrate the fuel systems (carbs as well as injection) and adjust the ignition timing to get the power out of the engine design.

These dynamometer charts aren't intended to be the 'last word' on any particular subject, but we will try to show the effects of one change at a time.

One reason that there is so much misinformation floating around, is, that most of the time, when a person is having her/his engine built, it is common to have several modifications undertaken at one time. (One can't afford to do the job three times for three components.) Without one-change back-to-back testing, the effects of these modifications are 'intertwined' and it is hard to separate the effects of each, on the whole result.

If you have any specific questions, drop us an e-mail or give us a call.

All of the really impressive results (not all of the results are impressive, some are) in the tech reports that follow, are the result of a lot of time, and care, and fiddling, and  lots of dyno runs. Good results come from hard work and good testing. When you buy a jet kit or a 'chip' for your bike, and install it yourself, sometimes you get good results, and sometimes you don't.
