Default Desktop dyno?

Anyone used that Desktop dyno program? I have a friend who uses it. I just wonder how accurate it is?

its not very accurate in terms of the ls1. i have it and use it to **** around and test things out here and there but dont take the results as all that accurate. engine analyzer is better.

i have the program as well. Mine is the 2000 program. It works very well for older engines with carb set up, but it does not feature much for efi applications. I have been told you can dload updates to fit applications for efi, but then you have to buy and register a version, which can be expensive. As JRP said, I have heard better things about engine analyzer for newer engines.

It only works on SBC's.

For anything else its not really useful.
