desktop dyno vs. virtual engine dyno
I want to get one of those computer engine dyno programs for Christmas, and was wondering if VirtualEngine was better than DesktopDyno? Anybody try both? Am I right that VE has a 2004 version, and DD is from 2000? Thanks, Joe

Engine Analyser is the best one to get. I have DD2K and it is fun to play with but if you want a better mousetrap, get EA. It has MUCH more functionality and precision. Check out the downloadable free trial version for more details. "Performance Trends" is the vendor.

Check it out. You can get it in several different versions. DD2K is just a toy compared to EA.

I have Dynosim. Just got it. Have read about it in several of the hotrod rags. They say it's pretty good. I did some initial sensitivity analysis on some of my components and got a suprising result. Once I have played with it some more I will report what I find.

Well, I guess for $109 vs. $39 you get what you pay for. It seems like most people have DD2000 to play with, but maybe Virtual Engine is a better toy for $40? Here is the link to VE: Joe
