I used it quiet a bit in the beginning when I was building my 5.3.
What's even cooler is this software is sponsored by comp cams...you can call their tech line and not only will they help you with specifically plugging in cam #'s, but they have that software right in front of them and they will help you with it as well. . (Comp Cams Product Page) You can get the software here.

This is going to sound pretty weird but IHRA Drag Racing 2 for playstation is the best $20 i've ever spent. It was way to complicated for me when I first got it back in like 99 but now I know what everything is and does its a lot of fun. You can change just about everything on the motor, suspension, tires, trans, ...... I've made 1 cylinder 400ci turbocharged nitromethane motors..... Probably not nearly as cool as Grippies but hours of fun.

Taking a second look at your screen shot it looks like they use the same parameters. I can change all those things on your screen.....I wish I had a digicam here...Ill try to find a screen shot from the game.

What I need to do is build a completely stock motor, LQ4 lets say, get a baseline from that and build from there to see just how accurate this software is. At the very least it shows a direction that a specific mod will take you. And honestly, it's really only as good as the data you enter in.
But it's also fun as all hell!

Not to mention, once you decide on a Cam, you can advance or retard it, change ICL's, yada, yada, yada....

hours of good fun
