HOW IT WORKS

The Dyno2000 is a Windows95/98 and WindowsNT/2000, 32-bit program based

on the

Filling-And-Emptying

method of engine power simulation. We chose this

INTRODUCTION

The Dyno2000 is the most advanced engine simula-

tion ever offered to the performance enthusiast. It

combines ease of use, rapid calculation times,

powerful Iterative Testing™, and detailed graphics.

The Dyno2000 is available from Mr. Gasket Perfor-

mance and Motion Software, Inc.

family of mathematical models because of their

excellent power prediction accuracy and fast pro-

cessing times. The Dyno2000 is a

full-cycle

simu-

lation. This means that it calculates the complete

fluid-dynamic, thermodynamic, and frictional con-

ditions that exist inside each cylinder throughout

the entire 720 degrees of the four-cycle process.

You will find that many other simulation pro-

grams on the market (even a few that sell for sev-

eral times the price of the Dyno2000) are not true

simulations

. Rather, they calculate the volu-

metric efficiency (VE) and then derive an estimate
