My 360 - anyone got dyno software

Also bear in mind this does not take into account issues in machining or anything less than perfect ring seal. I'd expect to see real numbers about 10-30hp lower in real life.
I have Performance Trends Engine Analyzer, I use it a lot, but I generally dont pay much attention to the gross numbers, as they are usually about 5% high, and Engine Analyzer is considered one of the most accurate. However, it IS an excellent tool for balancing static compression & cam timing to try to zero in on the maximum dynamic compression ratio that your local pump gas will tolerate, or seeing the effect a change will have on the SHAPE of the power curve, or if you want to go to a bigger cam but maintain your cranking compression, it can be a useful tool for figuring out how much to tighten the lobe separation. But as far as generating gross numbers, I dont generally use it for that.
As far as figuring out what compression ratio to use, I dont use the programs reccomendations at all, dont even look at them. But through experience, I know about how much cranking compression my local fuel will tolerate IF the car is using the correct gear/converter combo, tight quench ect. & i use the cranking compression numbers the software generates as a pretty close guide.
