It's fun and a good comparison tool. Probably as accurite as everybody's dyno. Everybody seems to agree that every dyno reads different. Lol I put together a stock 4 barrel 273 and it was within a few hp of the factory ratings. Take the results for what they are.
Some like it, some don't. I like it. Just remember, the information coming out is only as good as the information going in.
You bet. Full cam specs are a must. I wish I had flowed my heads. I don't have those numbers.
I like it. I haven’t the program on my Apple. Do they make a version for it?
It is a useful tool for sure.
Keep playing with cam specs.

I've never had an engined dynoed. But ive always said car weights this much car should run this number with this mph and this 60. And going by those numbers to guess at a horsepower. Or vice verse with the desk top dyno. Desk top dyno said I was making 650 horsepower. Had a 3600 lbs b body ran 10.80 - 10.90s. I would say that was pretty close.
You don't have to buy it. There's a free version online you can download. Search Desktop Dyno 2000 and you'll find it. IMO that's about the best incarnation because it's still simple. Some of the later versions get down right complicated and take the fun out of it.
Ah thank man that was awesome. I did t know that or even think about that. Complex (to be accurate) is good but not fun. The bad the first or near the first version where the dyno graph lines would quickly move across the screen revealing the estimated power curve. That was cool.
