Oxygen Sensors & Tuning
Oxygen sensors and the closed-loop EFI systems that utilize them are fantastic tools that can unlock levels of performance unheard of just a few short years ago.
The EFI Tuning Evolution
Much of the acceptance of EFI has been due to aftermarket companies making them more user-friendly.
Dynamometer Options for Your Car and Engine
There are a ton of different reasons engine builders would want a hub, chassis or engine dyno, so we looked into why you might opt for a particular dyno over another, or why you may want multiple dynos.
SCT Burst Throttle Booster
The SCT Burst is ideal either by itself or stacked with a tuner to give the driver all of the power right at their fingertips.

HP Academy Teaches EFI Online
The HP Academy was started to fulfill the need for some sort of formal training for EFI tuning. Two New Zealanders, Andre Simon and Ben Silcock, founded HPA in 2010.
Higher Revving Education
We’ve all seen the ads in magazines and online for schools, classes and seminars on tuning an ever-increasing number of engines and even transmissions in today’s cars and trucks. The better ones will include the use of a chassis dyno to show real-time results of the step-by-step methods they teach.
Performance Engine Tuning
Poorly tuned engines don’t make as much power, period. If the engine responds to something, keep giving it more until it responds negatively.
EFI Modules – Nothing To Be Scared About
I just finished watching my favorite TV show – Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws. A good portion of each episode is devoted to tuning these 2,000-3,500 hp monsters to get down the street without smoking the tires the entire 1/8th mile. However, you rarely see any hoods open or any adjustments to the engine taking place.
Understanding How To Tune Carburetors
An engine only runs as well as it is tuned. You can build a killer motor using all the best parts and machine and assemble everything with the utmost care, but if it’s a carbureted engine and the carburetor isn’t setup or tuned right your killer engine may never live up to its full potential.
Quest for Perfection – We Chronicle One Man’s Mission To Build the Ultimate Dyno Cell

Are Carbs Making You Look Bad? – The Best Engine Build Means Nothing If It Doesn’t Run Right
It’s hard to believe that we’re still talking about carburetors in 2017, especially since the last vehicle sold in America with a carburetor was more than 25 years ago. This seemingly rudimentary device has been fueling the internal combustion engine since its inception more than 100 years ago.
