This is the one I use.

It gives you choices where you can pick their settings from a drop down menu, or you can inter values to get a completely accurate view of how things will turn out. It lets you change about 20-30 different specifications and then gives you both a graph and a numerical chart. It takes no special computer skills to use. If you can pick a specification out of a drop down manual you can run this program. I did a search on eBay for the software and this is what I found

there is a place to DL for free but i forget where. I remember doing a bunch of simulated pulls for people and when we compared one to a guy who had a dyno sheet on his motor it was within like 10 or 15 hp on a 400+ motor so they seem pretty accurate for measuring flywheel power but you need to enter in your proper cam specs and head flowbench results

I use an application called Engine Analyzer, andits accompanying program, Dragstrip Analyzer. It's an old Win95 program, but it works great. It has lots of specs for different variables, or lets you punch in your own, but you will need to know quite a bit about your engine build first.

On the upside, it fits onto a 3.5" floppy
