Turbo Calculator

[WyoSyclone]

I've spent the last few days looking at cam/head/turbo calculations, and ran across this turbo calculator....

http://www.squirrelpf.com/turbocalc/

Of course things like this always follow the 'garbage in, garbage out' rule... but it seems somewhat accurate and there is a nice selection of compressor maps that auto-correlate to data that is input... any thoughts? I'm in the process of going through and double checking some of the math they're using.

Another kind of cool calculator I found was the new Cam Selection program (Cam Quest 6)over at Comp Cams.... of course it's not really needed for us since we have so few cams to choose from, but it does spit out some handy data, and it is a free download now.

Cool. I threw some HP figures at it, picked 3-4 turbos that I thought should be close, and it agreed.
Kinda hinges on some realistic VE numbers, though.

I like the fact that it has stuff from multiple vendors/manus. Makes the comparisons easy.

Dig, I´m sure You know this:

Are the VE figures in 1580BBZ close to the real world ?
I took the values + VE adder vs. RPM and got something to input to turbocalc.
From C.A.T.S. Tuner that is.

Stock turbo, 280 hp target. Realistic ?
