Default Desktop Dyno?

Has anyone played around with Desktop Dyno to experiment with LS1 specs? From what i have seen it looks fairly innacurate as far as predictions go, but can you use a correction factor or subtract 8 degrees or so out of the cam specs etc to get a more accurate simulation?

I've played with it. Its absolutely worthless for the LS1. Even with all the data, it still calculates stuff based on the SBC. Not even close to the dynamics of our engines.

It even makes the Hotcam appear to outperform several other popular cams LOL!

the B1 tops the hotcam on my dd2k. oh well.

i think it horrible inaccurate...but fun to play with.

just curious...is everyone using actual LS1 head flow files and all that? i usually use 800cfm for tb's and small tube headers with mufflers. either way...though inaccurate, its fun.

Thats dissapointing. Has anyone played around with a engine simulator that would be worth it for LS1 applications?
