Students will gain knowledge in the operation of dynamometer testing with emphasis on tuning and component selection for optimum performance. Dynamometer(s) are used to help students gain a better understanding of engine vs. rear wheel horsepower.
High performance induction, ignition and powertrain theories will be explained, with emphasis on using formulas to calculate correct header and carburetor size. Utilization of dynamometer data will help students understand what changes to an engine’s induction, exhaust and fueling systems do to the performance of the internal combustion engine.
