Default How good is Dyno2000

Anyone using Dyno2000 simulator? How close is the TPI simulation to real life.

I've used it, but don't have any comparisons with real world results.

Basically, what I've heard, is the HP estimates are inaccurate, but it's still a useful tool for comparing different head/cam setups.

If you need files for the the '85 vette factory heads and cam, IM me.

Yeah I have both... Dyno 2003 seems to give slightly lower, and more accurate numbers than 2000, but still it's just a program. There are so many other factors. But I think the power curve are more accurate than the numbers. :cheers:
