1. An engine control module comprising:

  • a base reserve module that determines a base reserve torque;

    a power steering reserve module that determines a power steering reserve torque;

    a reserve torque module that determines a first reserve torque based on said base reserve torque, said power steering reserve torque, and at least one of an oil temperature of an engine and a barometric pressure;

    first and second engine actuator modules that control first and second actuators of the engine, respectively; and

    an engine speed control module that instructs the first engine actuator module to produce a first torque output from the engine and that instructs the second engine actuator module to produce a second torque output from the engine, wherein said second torque output is approximately equal to a sum of said first reserve torque and said first torque output.
