how many guys use engine analyzer software , like DD-2000, engine analyzer, and similar programs to check out potential changes and mods, and have you found the real world results to be similar to prodicted results?
I have several versions in the shop to use for spotting potential problems and areas that need improvement, sure the experiance helps a great deal, but
these are very useful tools but the less expensive options are better at guessing trends in the engine mods than acctual results, but thats to be expected simply because they don,t take into accound , NEARLY the same amount of data and ASSUME things the more complex programs actually calculate
now thats NOT always a bad thing because the old (GARBAGE IN/GARBAGE OUT) factor applies to most software and if your not 100% sure what your entering is factual data, the simple programs might give closer results than a more precise simulation with some bad data entered
heres a few examples

Ive played with several of these dyno software programs and they run from extremely simple and fairly accurate to extremely complex and difficult to use, but very accurate
now I tend to get the best results accuracy wise with software results matching real world results, with EA PRO

and

seems about the fastest and reasonably close at predicting TRENDS
and you need to have BOTH diagnostic software and a basic understanding of what that softwares telling you....
