Not Just An Educated Guess
ProRacing Sim's popular DeskTop Dyno 5 is more accurate than ever. The easy-to-use software loads into your PC and gives you access to a wealth of parts (camshafts, cylinder heads, compression ratios, valve sizes, intake manifolds, fuels, nitrous oxide, exhaust systems, and many more) and endless engine combinations for you to test. Have fun creating an engine combo; then watch the software display a simulated dyno graph, which, according to the company, is accurate to within a few percentage points of a real dyna-mometer test. The price is $50. ProRacing Sim; (901) 259-2355; www.proracingsim.com
