Overview

COBB Tuning performs dyno testing for cars of all makes, models, and years with varying aftermarket setups. The website dyno.cobbtuning.com contains an archive of these runs, including information about each car and the car's performance at specific engine RPMs. I've scraped this publicly-available data and posted it as this dataset for all to use.

This data is split into two files, which share the column 'Run' as the shared key. This column contains each dyno run's Run ID.

You can see this data for yourself by using the following link with a valid Run ID at the end of the URL.

Potential Approaches

Overall Influence on Horsepower/Torque from Certain 'Specs' Values

Investigate how different aftermarket setups or fuel types influence performance for all cars. Some changes will make a bigger difference than others, and it might be valuable for consumers to know that gains in performance would come from aftermarket parts/different fuel types, or know where the biggest gains in horsepower/torque will generally come from.

Change in Performance Per Car from Certain 'Specs' Values

Investigate how different aftermarket setups or fuel types influence performance for each car. You can compare cars of same year make and model with different setups as one path. Another path is to compare the same make and model but differ years, while holding parts/fuels consistent (as a control group) before checking differences in parts/fuels. This would be valuable for customers because it can inform a specific parts purchase decision to increase their car's performance.

Potential Horsepower/Torque of Certain Makes and Models With Upgrades

Investigate max horsepower/torque for each run. Some manufacturers make cars with higher performance, and it might be useful for customers to know what cars would have better performance with best-available parts. Be careful with this one- some makes/models in the dataset likely have a proportionally-higher (unfair) amount of modification overall. It may be wise to look elsewhere for stock HP/Torque amounts between car manufacturers or their cars, but you could use this dataset to see what the high-yet-feasible modification could bring by car.
