Product Overview
Software
CarBahn’s performance software is designed to deliver reliable power with the safest possible output. “Smooth Power” means the software is calibrated correctly by using a safe approach to power adjustment. Excessive torque will break the tires loose, overload the engine and ruin the drivetrain. Torque is best managed with a smooth delivery system that creates usable power and increases reliability. CarBahn software also incorporates torque reduction in 1st and 2nd gears for manageable power delivery. Safety is a top priority in the development of software at CarBahn. To reach optimum power, the software is easily combined with our high-performance intercoolers/heat exchangers and big turbos. Safety parameters such as knock control sensitivity, super knocking control sensitivity, and catalyst thermal protection are tuned into your OEM software to prevent engine and catalyst failure.
Suspension Tuning
Steve Dinan is famous for road car suspension systems that not only handle better than the competition they ride better as well. CarBahn designs their own suspension systems paying careful attention to spring, damping and anti-roll bar relationships as well as bushing deflection and suspension geometry to make a truly superior system. In addition, we have systems designed to work with your OEM electric dampers so you can have a nice ride when you want it and a performance suspension when you need it. CarBahn is also a Forgeline wheel distributor enabling us to make very light very strong wheels with custom colors, sizes and offsets.
