If you had access to an engine dyno and a spare engine..... What would you test?
I am doing some research at school and have an engine dyno waiting for me to work with. I have located a 4.8L that I would like to do some testing on because I am already familiar with this gen of engines.
I only have a few months to get the dyno set up and do testing so it has to be a pretty simple test. However I dont want it to be something that is really obvious like a larger intake/exhaust provides more power. I would like to try something that hasnt been tested too much yet. Some of the things that were recommended to me were ethanol, fuel economy and emissions because this is what the auto makers are beginning to focus more on.
Any ideas are extremely appreciated!
thanks
