Desktop Dyno Accuracy?
Anybody know how accurate this program is? Like anybody really know, like put their set up on it themselves and then actually had the motor or rwhp (calculated to flywheel) dynoed and then compared them? I just ask because I threw my set up onto desktop dyno since I have all my parts now and I know exactly what is going in it. It came to almost exactly what i wanted it to put out so just curious if anybody knows anything about the accuracy of this program.

From what I've heard it seems kinda hit and miss. In Caleb's case, didn't it say he'd have 250 HP? But yet, granted he hasn't had it dyno'd, he had a 90HP increase and says he can't really notice a difference (correct me if I'm wrong, Caleb). I would think a 90HP increase would be kinda noticable. So I dunno, I'd rather be negative and say expect it to be a high estimate, that way if you're wrong it's a happy surprise.

"all the power" that's uhm... 609-160... 449 more horse than I have. The difference in HP between his car and my car could be the HP for a car with more HP than a z28, that's sick.
