I created a customer satisfaction survey last week and sent it to all of my existing free and paid customers.
As part of the feedback from that survey, I'm currently working on writing revision 3.8 of the Horsepower Calculator...
This revision will include the following updates:
- Re-writing the Engine Calculator to give cam duration recommendations @ 0.050" lift rather than seat-to-seat duration or advertised duration.
- Extending the Turbo Calculator to perform more accurate twincharger modeling including new illustration and temperature modeling for post-charger and post-intercooler intake air temps
- Extending the Intercooler Calculator for air to water intercoolers, no-intercooler, and water injection.
- Extending the Engine Calculator to recommend a different static compression ratio for intercooled and non-intercooled applications.
- Extending Charger Database with links to compressor maps and possibly plotting demand lines on the maps
- Extending the E85 Calculator to become a 'fuel and octane center'... this allows for an anything goes of alcoholic, non alcoholic and oxygenated fuel mixes, calculating the final mixture's oxygenation, autoignition, and flame front parameters and then using the data as an input into the Engine calculator for calculating compression ratios.
- Increased user friendliness (remember my car & inputs, better placement of next/back buttons, email me the illustrations not just the data...etc)
So this is going to be a hefty but very useful re-write and hopefully will take the software that extra step from being VERY good to being remarkable... I'll keep you updated
