Dyno chart smoothing? Does it make a difference? See for yourself...

I read comments on here once in a while about how FocusSport likes to use a lot of smoothing on their dyno charts. Or how there is a big difference in smoothing from 3 to 5. Or from 1 to 5. Or from...you get the idea.

So why don't we just take a look for ourselves?

First example - Paul Haskew's 2.3 Turbo Duratec

Smoothing set at 1 - The LOWEST setting on dynojet software



Smoothing set at 2



Smothing set at 3



Smoothing set at 4



Smoothing set at 5 - The HIGHEST setting on dynojet software





Second example - FocusSport 2.3 Duratec project car

Smoothing set at 1 - The LOWEST setting on dynojet software



Smoothing set at 2



Smoothing set at 3



Smoothing set at 4



Smoothing set at 5 - The HIGHEST setting on dynojet software




Horsepower and Torque can change slightly with the different settings, but its not anything major. A dyno chart from a well sorted car with a good hardware and software package will look good at any setting. A chart from a car with a not so well sorted hardware and software package will look like it needs help at any setting.

So there it is, laid out flat for you to see. Now you can see for yourself how much of a difference each setting makes.
