Simulating Uphill Load on Dyno

    Hey guys, I’m trying to replicate uphill driving conditions on the dyno to test how the car pulls under steep load. Is there a way to simulate that kind of incline stress reliably during sessions without taking the car out on the road?

    That’s a smart approach, especially if you’re testing torque delivery or heat management under load. To replicate climbing conditions, you’ll need a dyno system that allows manual or automated adjustment of resistance. This kind of testing becomes a lot more effective when paired with the modules Dynotest https://dynotestpro.com/ — they let you program dynamic resistance profiles that simulate varying slopes, giving you a clearer picture of your car’s performance under heavy, real-world loads. It’s particularly helpful when tuning for endurance, towing, or race applications where uphill performance can make or break responsiveness. With the right settings, you can make the dyno session mimic the road almost exactly.
