You can get it here with a special rebate.

$100- $100 rebate = $0.00

Its good for a rough estimate. I really wish they would incorporate cylinder head runner size into the equation.

I used mine for comparison. I figured if it was calculating wrong, at least it calculated the same everytime. Therefore comparisons between heads and cams would at least give me an idea of the power curves. I did use the correct head flow numbers (from Chev High Performance magazine) and got the cam specs from the vendors web sites.

its fairly accurate if you put in the exact specs for every part, Even the airflow of the heads.

Alot of people just choose "High Performance Camshaft" and "Fully ported heads" and expect it to be correct.

The more info you give it, the more accurate it will be.
