Anyone ever used Desktop Dyno or some other similar software? I have heard of one called Dynosim too. Was thinking of buying one. Opinions?

Many, many members here have it, and I think they are all pleased with it. Ask one to do a simulation, most are happy to help.

I started with the basic program, got hooked and upgraded to the standard one that allows head parameters to be input. The same motors with the basic made about 20% more power than with the standard program, so stay away from the basic program. If you really get hooked there are two more upgrades that perform iterations to find the best combination and have other features. Joe
