This looks like a bowtie-kickin' piece of essential software!

I never really looked it over before, but it seems to be the last word in setting up performance engines!

No more trial and error, just enter the specs you have or set it to go for the max output in a given rpm range and let your PC do the experimenting!

Can Club FTE get this software in Motor Haven?

It's the next best thing to owning your own dyno, better maybe. I had no idea there was a program out there like it...

(Definately gotta have!)

Here is a peak of what it basically looks like. They also have a program called desktop dragstrip where you can drop any motor you build into a car.

I've sent them an inquiry but the honest truth is I doubt we'll sell it. The market for it is a very small niche. Any product, in order to be profitable, needs to turn over inventory every two months. We're going to be dropping about 500 of the 2900 sku we sell after the new year because of this.

Well, at least we can get some word out to our own people. And who knows?

Maybe we can put together a "Buyer Group" to get a discount. Never tried that before, we'll have to see.

I have been in the hardware business for over forty-five years. We sure wish we could get 6 turns a year. In our business 4 turns in about average, but like us you sometimes have to trim your stock of the dead wood to make a decent profit. I have an older version of DeskTop Dyno and still use it. Great web site, access it all the time.
