All Motor Tuning - Dyno Tuner
All Motor Tuning, often referred to as All-Motor Tuning, is a specific approach to tuning and modifying an internal combustion engine without the use of forced induction methods like turbocharging or supercharging. In an “all motor” setup, the goal is to maximize the power and efficiency of the engine using natural aspiration
Technology has increased the power per Cubic Liter/Inch to all-time highs. Engines can be extremely sensitive to even the smallest modifications. And the selection of fuel, even now with E85 available at the pump, is critical to maximize performance. Or, you can just be wasting money on modifications and fuel that just don’t work well together.
Realize that most NA modifications are designed to make breathing more efficient at the high RPM range where maximum power is found. In turn, efficiency at the low RPM range is decreased, degrading driveability and throttle response, so you experience wavering and surging while trying to cruise at a steady throttle and when stepping into the throttle.
API has strived through the years to find and combine tuning techniques to not only maximize power in the high RPM range but to also tame very aggressive modifications in the low RPM range, giving you the best driveability and throttle response possible.
API can review your configuration down to details and, if suited, make suggestions so that you will get the most out of your application with a precision tune.

Many engine failures are caused by short-cut tuning practices. People will go back to the same tuner after rebuilding a motor that failed without realizing the failure was caused by short-cut tuning practices.
API tunes and pre-tune consultations help avoid disappointment. API is an expert at making your application put out maximum, reliable horsepower with a precision tune. Our pre-tune consultations have helped serious racers and those who add power just for pleasure achieve the most horsepower with money spent. We help you effectively enhance your applications and rectify problems before you get to the Dyno, and in many cases, steer you from throwing your money at unnecessary changes. No “get-them-in-take-their-money-get-them-out” quick tunes here.
When it comes to tuning, keeping your engine within the window of safety is important, even for mild modifications. The window of safety shrinks quickly as the horsepower increases, for instance, the window of safety shrinks when you use high compression pistons or boost. Many tuners can stay withing the window while tuning, but they don’t check that all sensors are calibrated, and some tuners don’t even care if a sensor isn’t working. So, as soon as weather conditions change from the time of your tune, you may be heading for disaster. If the sensors are off by a little, the tune could be slowly damaging your motor. Rings are the first to get fried, leading to blow-by and excessive oil consumption. Even if you notice the blow-by before the motor is heavily damaged, you’re still looking at an engine rebuild to change out the fried rings. Excessive sensor mis-calibration or sensors not working, and enough of a weather change, make enough power and you’re picking up the pieces.
