Sure, I can picture a tuned engine as a poem, but I don’t let the metaphor get in the way of the math. First I read the data like a script—scan the codes, chart the revs, measure the knock. Then I tweak the fuel map, tighten the timing, adjust the idle, run a dyno test, and repeat until the torque curve looks like a clean, tight stanza. The real art is making the numbers sing without blowing the guts apart. If you want to write your own engine poem, start with a baseline, note every change, and treat each tweak as a line that either strengthens or weakens the rhythm.

Alright, here’s a quick stanza for the beast in the garage: **“Throttle open, fuel sings, Timing tight as a lock, Knock off, vibration rings, Power pulses, engines talk.”** If you run it through the dyno, the curves should start to look like that rhythm. Try it and see if the engine hums back in the same meter.
