I have it. I am somewhat disappointed with it though. There doesnt seem to be very many specs useful for Hondas. and without knowing all the precise details of the engine components, its almost useless. I thought it was strange that when you pull up the honda 4 cyl it defaults to a 1.9L.... I don't claim to know everything, but has Honda ever even made a 1.9??? I bet you could tune a chevy 350 on there easy.

ya, i think its made more for domestics. Fun to put a turbo and nitrous on a 1.5 and make 2700hp @ 12,000 rpm though.

The biggest problem with it is that you can't model for multi-profile cams (from a Honda VTEC perspective), and that the cylinder head profiles don't match Honda flow characteristics all that well. You also can't model valve stagger on multiple inlet and exhaust valve arrangements, but then again what did you expect from inexpensive and commercially available software? It's still pretty good at estimating peak numbers though, assuming you can input accurate data.
