I think you misread what I said then.
What I said was:
Even the really sophisticated computer modelling software that manufacturers use and aftermarket tuners can only dream of having the data for, doesnt aactually give you a defintive answer.
you're talking about differences of a couple of percent on an N/A engine, I'd say that already wasnt definitive, and the moment you introduce different turbos into the mix on a FI engine it gets even less accurate.
And for the aftermarket guys the problem isnt the software, although at the 30K you mention I cant see too many rushing to buy it, the problem is like I said, the lack of data.
Whack a YB engine with a set of BD16 cams and a GT35R into your software and see what it says for me please?
