Programmable torque limit

An engine control system for controlling torque output of an engine, comprising:

• at least one sensor coupled with the engine, the at least one sensor operable to monitor and transmit operating data of the engine;
• and
• an electronic device coupled to the at least one sensor, the electronic device operable to control the engine as a function of the transmitted operating data, to operate substantially at, and between predetermined upper and lower torque limits over a predetermined range of engine speeds, by determining and regulating an amount of fuel to the engine.

A method for controlling engine torque of an engine, comprising:

• monitoring and transmitting operating data of the engine;
• and
• controlling the engine as a function of the transmitted operating data of the engine, to operate substantially at a predetermined torque limit over a predetermined range of engine speeds, by determining and regulating an amount of fuel to the engine.
