Re: desktop dyno (1996man)
I used it to analyze the increased manifold pressures with my nitrous. Other folks here have used it to see HP increases with heads, cams and exhaust. If operated correctly, I understand it to be quite accurate. As for purchasing it, I got mine from the NOS trailer at the drag races. It is available from Jegs and Summit.

Dyno2000 is the latest version by Motion Software Inc.; it's ~$60 at http://www.motionsoftware.com/
Check Corvette Fever on-line; I believe they did an evaluation of Dyno2000 and it's companion package Drag2000 earlier this year.
As mentioned it can show effects of changing various engine components including head porting, headers, cam, etc. The hardest part (for me) is modeling the intake manifold properly.
If you plan to drag race your Vette, consider also the Drag2000 package, it's VERY useful in optimizing drive train components.
