I have seen several dyno results on various vehicles which were testing a friction modifier but I can't say for sure one way or the other. But I can say that the increases as a percentage up the rpm range produced a bell shaped curve with the largest percentage at peak torque and the lower percentages at the higher and lower rpms. This was with full throttle dyno runs.
I would like to see 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% loads generated on a truck dyno simulating different weight loads for the trucks at a given highway speed say 65mph. I would like to compare them to see if the percentages stayed the same for fuel consumption and torque stayed the same.
