1) Engine Log Book Pro Released As we said in last month's newsletter, we've released our Engine Build Log Book Pro version. We've also just released a new movie showing how you can enter measurements directly into the log book using the proper instrument with USB link. The same method can be used in our Standard and Plus versions of the Engine Build Log Book.

If you already own either the standard Engine Log Book, or Plus version of
Engine Log Book, you can upgrade to the Pro version at a discount for $450 or
$350 respectively. Because we need to verify ownership for these prices,
to send us an email and we will send instructions on how to order.

to see the log book Pro being used at QMP Racing
Engines to record bores with a Sunnen GR-2121E gauge
via LU2X1 cable gauge directly into the Engine Log Book. Then the
log book calculates bore clearances from the electronic bore and piston skirt
diameters, and do other analysis.

2) Port Flow w FlowCom Bug Fix We've fixed a bug in our Port Flow Analyzer v3.5C when working with an SF1020 bench. If you did a range change through the earlier software, the software would automatically start recording data after the range change. Now the software does not do this. A typical range change is shown below, where now it also lists the flow CFM for each Range #. There is also a handy Ctrl-F5 shortcut key for doing a range change, so you don't have to go through options with your mouse.
for the readme.doc file for all changes made in the latest v3.5C, and
earlier versions also.
If you own v3.5C, this is a free update. If you install the latest v3.5C over your existing v3.5C, when asked, select to do a Refresh installation instead of a Complete (typical) installation. This way all of your settings are saved and you will not have to unlock again.
If you own the Pro version of v3.5B, it is a $100 update charge. From Pro v3.5A it is a $200 charge. Older versions or Basic or Head Porter versions would have different costs.
to send us an email to see what your update cost would be. Include
your name and shipping address for when your software was purchased.
