dyno Software?

Anyone know of any good dyno software besides desktop dyno that you can calculate hp and torque using different engine combos?

Hey man...

The math behind coming up with the number is pretty straight forward. Basically you're looking at how much "work" (HP) it takes to move a given weight a given distance. There're a bunch of sites on the 'net that will do it for you... Google Search

If you're looking for something a bit more "live", then check into some of the OBD II software/interfaces that're available. For example, I use the Auterra software with a Palm box that will do the math for me kinda' on-the-fly (it computes across the 1/4 mile).

Yeh I figure I could do the math but I'm taking the lazy way out and letting the software do it I guess what I am looking for is something like desktop dyno where I can put in different engine combos and see where everything matches up with hp and torque. Right now I have dyno 2000 but its a little outdated. I am going to use this on my next 2 yr project and stroking a 302 to a 331 and shooting for a goal of maybe 350-380hp and 385-400ft lbs torque. Then the 4Runner should come to life with maybe an AOD behind it. But this is all preplanning stages...something to get exact numbers for when I do decide to start buying things and getting machine work done.

I use Car Tester, it lets you calculate many different things. Plus it has hundreds of vehicles in it already so it has some of the lesser known attributes put in for you; like weight distribution and such.

its easy to change a 302 into a 331 or what ever. frist you figure out what bore and stroke the kit has input it in and you shoule come up with whatever cubes the kit is going to make then from there figure your cam and head cfm out. here is one that i through together while looking through a summit book
