Never really fully understood how different engine setups are tuned at various ramp rates.
Example: real world (on road) figures-
car A accelerates from 100-130km/h in 4 seconds in 4th gear (1:1)
car B accelerates from 100-130km/h in 6 seconds in 4th gear (1:1)
car A has a large displacement engine with lots of mid range torque
car B has a small forced induction engine & is laggy in the mid range
From what I have seen most tuners use 8, 10, 12 or 15kmh/sec upload ramps.
Now if the above cars are tuned, at different ramp rates, and they both produce the same horsepower output is that accurate & what ramp rate would be closest to real word (on road) as not many people drive their cars on chassis dynos?
I have driven cars that supposedly had a great tune on the dyno but once driven on the road performed a lot different.
