desk top dyno ?

It's not a real good program.

Performance Trends dyno simulators are far better.

Larry Meaux's PipeMax is not really a dyno simulator, but a knowledgeable person can use it that way.

To me, even Comp Cams cam selection software (Cam Quest) is more accurate than those old cheap programs.

All dyno simulators are "garbage in, garbage out", meaning even the best of them yield useless results unless you feed them good valid data to work with.

Engine Pro/Quarter Pro have selections for "High Rate Hydraulic" camshafts that includes calculations that target stocker-type hydraulic camshafts. It does a pretty good job.
