Desktop Dyno
How is this program? I would like to estimate the HP of my engine with each different mod. Are there any better programs? Where is the cheapest place? Thaks in advance.

Jeg's has it for $40. They also have a Performance Trends Engine Analyzer for $113. Does anybody know about this program?

Re: Desktop Dyno (vettes rule)
I have used this program on a friends computer and I was impressed. We were working on several engine combo's for a bracket car he was building. The times were very close once the car was on the track. For about $40 it's a heck of a deal.

Re: Desktop Dyno (vettes rule)
I have the software. It seems to be pretty accurate. I had my ZZ4 dynoed and then built up the same motor on the desktopdyno and it was within a few ponies.
Here is a tip: I read in GM High Tech mag. that you should use the cams advertised duration and set the lifter to plain hydraulic. They said the the roller lifters in the program are too optimistic and are more of a slid roller.
Otherwise I like the software. One, Those who have it, where does an LT1 fit into in the intake section?
