i'm thinking about getting DD2000 - there is a sale on until the end of the month... but i've been reading that the only options for intakes that would apply to anything i'd ever do would be either "dual-plane" or "single-plane", and there's nothing that would apply to my EFI 302. also, for headers you just get "big" or "small"... not exactly helpful for picking which ones to buy! and without more detail in the intake and exhaust, it seems like the cam selection would be a little off too...

is DD2000 any good for choosing exact parts, or is it just good for general "what if..." type questions?

is there a way to "fudge" the date, to get an idea about something like whether 1-3/4" or 1-7/8" headers would be better, or a way to show what the cam specs should be for an edelbrock streetmaster vs. a torker2 ?

not that i know of. the users man for desktop dyno states that 1 3/4 or larger exhausts is considered large headers. smaller than 1 3/4 is small headers.

here are some of the dyno programs

virtual engine - http://www.virtualengine2000.com/

engine shop 3.5 - http://www.auto-ware.com/software/es/eswin.htm

these appear to be the best of the other dyno software.

I don't know how well they work, but the price is right.
