Karl Kustoms AWD Dyno In Action!
At Karl Kustoms, the dyno room is vital to properly tuning an engine. In the video, our tuner Robbie Massey discusses why the dyno is so important. He gives some background on the tuning process and what you can expect from your car.
Karl Kustoms tunes cars both old and new, from older carbureted engines to the latest fuel injected, forced induction high performance engines. Anytime engine modifications affect engine airflow, tuning is necessary to keep the engine running efficiently and reliably.

Understanding The Tuning Process
Overall tuning results depend on the mechanical modifications done. We offer both street and track tuning. Either way, the tuning process includes:
- Test driving extensively for drive-ability and idle quality
- Strapping the vehicle down to the load-bearing dyno for either FWD, RWD, or AWD tuning
- Measuring maximum horsepower and torque
- Tuning wide-open throttle
- Optimizing fuel and timing maps for fuel type used
- Maximizing tune for street or track use
We also have an engine dyno room. Check out this blog post to learn more!
Getting The Right Combination Of Performance Parts
Karl Kustoms knows the importance of using the right combination of parts to achieve the results you desire. We recommend a systematic approach for improving performance. Doing things in the right order ensures you’ll get the most for your money. A baseline dyno test is a good start. Knowing performance numbers before any modifications will give us a better understanding of what you’ll gain and what parts will give you the best results. After any new parts are installed, your car will be tested on the same dyno, under the same conditions. This gives you complete transparency on the gains achieved by your new parts.
Start Here!
If you’re interested in tuning or modifying your vehicle, give us a call and set up an appointment for a baseline dyno test. Maybe you’re thinking about modifications, or want to see the results of your own modifications. Either way, we’re here to help! Contact us by email or phone.
