What Is Steady State?

Steady state dyno loading is a manner where you can load the car at a given RPM or MPH and hold the car there no matter where the throttle is depressed. For example you could load the car 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 useful for tuning EFI where you would like to tune all of the cells in the 2000 RPM range. This is a much better approach to tuning than full pulls and only change the cells that you go through. With a tuning method like this your car will run and drive more like a stock vehicle.

Our dyno can steady state up to 1200hp. We have held our Turbo Nova at 6000 rpms 16psi and full throttle, no tire slippage and held in steady state. Ask your tuner about steady state, he should be using this feature.
