1) Engine Analyzer v3.4B, Std and Plus Released In February we announced we were close to releasing a major update to the standard Engine Analyzer, v3.4B. It's the popular "little brothers" to our Engine Analyzer Pro engine simulation. Now it has been officially released for sale. Most of the improvements are tweeks to the performance calculations to be a little more accurate. Plus we've added many other features to improve the program's overall ease of use, and updates to take advantage of newer computers. Enhancements include:

Several refinements to the performance calculations have been made to be more accurate.
The program has added Direct Injection option for Combustion Chamber design, and Roots Supercharger types of Modern Screw Type and Modern 2000+ Screw Type, similar to Engine Analyzer Pro.
The program has about 100 more example Complete Engine files. click here for a list of new and old engine files.
The program has hundreds more example components, like Heads and Camshafts. GM LS Cams and Heads are now separate categories.
Several new Preferences have been added to allow the screens and fonts to be enlarged and repositioned for better viewing on newer, high resolution computer screens.
The Program now checks the configuration file after it is written and makes a backup copy. If a problem is sensed in the configuration file the next time the program starts, the backup configuration file is used.
The method for displaying a PDF file (like the User Manual) has been updated to be more compatible with more operating systems.
Several changes to the Optimize feature have been made, so that more accurate answers can be found for more possible combinations. For example, the program now assumes the optimum cam durations are larger if the RPM range for the calculations is high.

2) Godzilla Cobra Jet Paul's Performance and CME-Racing keep pushing the limits of the new Ford Godzilla 7.3L crate motor. As always, they use Performance Trend's Drag Race Pro and Engine Analyzer Pro simulations to optimize performance. They were just written up in Motor Trend as "The Best 'Jet Yet? This 2010 Mustang Cobra Jet Runs 8s with a 1,100-Horsepower Godzilla". It was also the first Godzilla crate motor into the 10's and the 9's.

They will also be competing in NMRA's Godzilla Invasion class at Norwalk Ohio June 6-9.
