Default Under the curve

Anyone make a tool for measuring the total torque/hp 'under the curve' to get a more comprehensive, aggregate view of an engines performance?? Simply 'peak hp and 'peak tq' can be a bit misleading.

thx

I don't know about a tool but it is common to take the average torque from one rpm to another to figure streetable HP and torque. :chevy

my my my .. someone has forgotten their CALCULUS!! You remember how to calculate the total area below a curve??

All you need to do is some logistic regression to forumlate an equation for your graph, and then use the area calculation tool to add up the sum of the area below the curve.

Easy as pie :D

I thought it would be a natural add-on for a dyno. If it can plot numerous tq and hp readings, it ought to be able to crunch these numbers rather easily. FEW folks at the dyno can do this on their hand held. :)

Maybe its just not that uselful for reasons a weekend mechanic like me doesn't see!

If you have your dyno curve scanned it, you can post it and I'll take a few minutes and calculate it for you.

original phrase: ...Spoon feed me and wipe my butt...

You're a much nicer guy than I am, Glock! :)

I was being polite, as he gave the offer to help.

I originally simply asked if there a tool to do this, Mr. tough guy. :smash:
