Cant really say, I plugged my info into it, and had their cam plugged in, and it said 555 hp, and 515lb ft tq.
It sure didnt feel that hot, and Ill know more after my new heads go on.
Id say they are puffed up, and you can have your engine on one guys dyno, get a number and take it to another dyno, and get a totally different number.

Like any computer generated estimate, it is based on highly optimized components that are dialed in perfectly. It's more like giving you the potential HP the cam can support rather than the actual HP you will make.

Here is an article from the tech archives where I tested that SW program. I did the whole exercise with Comp where I run the software and then they sent me the cam and we put the engine on the dyno. It was basically an exact match with what the program predicted. Only issue I have with that program is that it only selects shelf cams. I'd like it a lot more if it allowed the user to build a custom cam using the Comp lobes. But I suppose that might be too complex of a program to write. http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/techa...ions/index.html

You can edit the cams that are in it.
In the file
C:\CamQuest6\Manuals & Videos\Menus\CompCamsData6.txt
is all the cam data. Here is one example for the purple plus 280 hydraulic, except I changed the lift to .401 just to make sure the simulation changed.
Chrysler 383-440 C.I. 8 CYL. 1959-1980 Hydraulic-2501 stall with 9.5:1 comp. strong midrange with early muscle car sound. Yes Yes Yes Yes Nostalgia Plus Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshafts Hydraulic Lifter Hyd. Hyd. 2000 to 6000 21-670-4(Single Bolt) PP280H 280 287 233 240 0.401 0.401 110 106.0 K21-670-4 CL21-670-4 [7] 822-16 [61]/867-16 [37] 2104/3104 1321-16 [23] 911-16/924-16 [2] 748-16/741-16 627-16 [27] 504-16
You can see the cam #s in bold, just edit them, save the file, then open (or close and re-open) cam quest, select that cam, and viola, the HP and torque #s will change based on whatever cam #s you entered.

This says 480hp @5500 and 517tq @4000 . Seems awful generous to me  Just a 416 stroker, 274S cam, edelbrocks full ported all matched intake/ex, M1 single plane, 750 silver claw, TTI 1 5/8" stepped. I'm hoping for 1hp/cubic inch Maybe I should have chosen Single Plane Intake Standard flow instead of Single Plane Intake High Flow??  Should I have choose Small Tube Headers W/O Cat instead of Large Headers W/O Cat?? If I do both those changes I get 424.5hp @ 5000 and 481tq @4000

free download! once you download the program do a hard drive search for camquest then follow the folders below.
C:\CamQuest6\Manuals & Videos\Menus\CompCamsData6.txt
once you open it up its a list of files in the (CompCamsData6.txt) and just find your engine app(scrolling down)! you can just type over the existing data entry or just hit the enter key at the beginning of a file and open up a blank space then copy and paste the file above it and edit that as need to your own cam specs by scrolling side to side! of course you can data entry in what you want with the wording also but watch out for knocking data over into the next table or it will mess the files up!

...Engine sim programs are a nice tool but only as good as the numbers you put in.Newest software is very accurate...
I figured it revolved around inputs. So that's why I asked:
For a M1 single plane small block intake, would you choose max flow, high flow, or standard flow?
I now think TTI 5/8 stepped headers would be considered small tube headers as opposed to large tube headers, correct?

I'd enter std. intake first, then high flow. I can't image there being a huge difference.
I'd enter small tube for the headers. I used small tube with my 1 3/4" TTI's.
