Engine analyzer
Anyone here ever use Performance Trends Engine Analyzer. This program kicks Desktop Dynos butt. It lets you put just about every detail of your engine far more detailed than desktop dyno. It has a much more accurate intake flow system which includes a Tpi system that you can put in runner, throttle body dimensions or what have you. It will also let you punch in dimensions of heads or flow numbers whichever you choose. It also has an analyzer with notes to tell you when you will knock at even what rpms with a certain octane and tell you what timing has been added to compensate. Also it gives you suggestions or dangers you may face.

I was looking to hear more comparison between Desktop Dyno and Engine Analyzer, but I guess few in many people have both.
When is it a good idea to get one or the other? They both run around $300. Is it a solid tool, or just an expensive toy to play with engine build plans?
Does either do anything with emissions? Now THAT would be one to get.

Its an expensive toy unless you build engines for a living. In this case it could save lots of paperwork.

Is there an upgrade system, i.e. a new patch when the specs on a part are published? Is there a board where you can trade specs? Those would appear to be handy if one is going spend time cranking out build sheets from the program.

I think they upgrade both programs periodicly. In any case if you have the spec on a certain part you can input it yourself to the library.

i started using that program back in the late 80's when it was a dos program.Very helpful.it was called ea25.I still use it time to time and compare the two from desktop dyno and engine analyzer.The new version must be even better.

I was surfing for more information about engine simulators and on a different board someone mentioned one from Lockheed. Anybody know anything about that one? I bet it cost even more.

The update papers were great, but it seems to have about died out since there are so many cheaper ones.
If you designing engines from the block casting up, it's still the best out there.
