Hey H8PVMNT,

Thanks.  Yes, there are some very interesting numbers that come out of this software. The numbers may not be accurate for the baseline, but are probably very close and accurate for the "changes" in the physical (cam profile, compression, displacement, etc) and the enviromental (RH, elevation, ambient air temperature, etc).

Until and unless I can see for myself any certified dyno testing (engine or chassis) I'm going to assume these numbers are probably pretty close to actual testing, obviously debatable and have different experiences as expressed on the many sites I've been on for the past 18 years. Most of the numbers do parallel actual experiences and comments by guys who have made changes and modifications.  And, like those who do serious testing, what shows up on a chassis dyno may not be what the driver experiences on the track.

I will run some numbers that include the LCE Stage 2 cam and EB 270 cam and update the sheet.

Gnarls.
