Ill have to make another donation soon also. I'm still breaking in my new motor so I haven't had a chance to use this program since the beginning of April. Lots have changed since then I see.

I just sent a donation. It isn't much but thats all I can work with for now. If your program was up for sale, I probably couldn't afford it. Thank you for your hard work.

Thanks guys for the support. I hated to mention the fact that donations took a nose dive for the last several months. I had a short fuse yesterday and some people over at another forum that will remain unnamed have a sense of entitlement.

Thanks again for supporting virtual dyno and I will continue to develop it and release new versions as I get features completed. Ive got a big feature coming sometime but I have to get the time to finish it.

One question, VD measured engine power or a wheel?

What is the difference between dynojet, mustang dyno or virtual dyno?

VD measures power at the wheels.

I am sure some of the brethren are going to chew those dynonameter questions up. Here is something for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamometer. The Dynojet and Mustang dynos is your car physically on the machine. And virtual, well, just as the name implies, your car is physically not on the machine.

VD has three different setting for Dynojet, Mustang, and Virtual Dyno calibration settings as well. You just need to make sure you are using a flat road to do dyno pulls and without as many variables as possible. Try to have about the same of gas (I fill up), don't go when it is very windy outside, etc. You can add in weight etc. and it has many great options. For me it tested with in 4whp... I stoped using the local dynojet.

I use it to tune my car. As long as you are using it correctly, you can very easily see the changes in whp/wtq and that is quite valuable when tuning for MBT . Not to mention you don't have to pay $150 per hr or $75 for 3 runs...

Thank you again Brad for developing and sticking behind this program.

In Spain we usually get the engine power, no way to get power engine with VD or math?




Thanks!

mt057 you are awesome ... you are a HUGE supporter of this program and you have the right mentality. I have to say you are my biggest contributor monetarily to date.

I was seriously thinking of supporting it by displaying ads at the bottom or getting sponsors. Sorry about mentioning that but it was the ugly truth and I was in a mood last night after reading some NASIOC comments. Maybe I should read this forum BEFORE reading what the NASIOC guys say
