Default Software program for HP estimations

Is there a software program to estimate engine HP?

Plug in the engine size, head chamber size , Head flow rate, compression, cam, intake, exhaust and what ever else is needed?

TIA

Yes there is. In fact i have it. The program is on a FLOPPY Disk (purchased it a LONG TIME AGO! )

If I can find a floppy disk reader at work, I will see if i can put it on a CD and send it to you.

My program is an OLD version of Desk Top Dyno. There are some really good new programs out now. This is one of them:

Lol, I used to have Desktop dyno. It was very basic and not very accurate. I know there are some much more advanced programs nowadays that are much better but I haven't any experience with them.
