What have I done?? Good, OK, or Bad??

The flow file being uploaded as a text file worked. I was able to rename it with the flw extension.

Looks like it actually helped Rich for what his goals are. Up to about 2700 rpm, the new flow numbers give better TQ/HP numbers.

Dynomation has some sort of knock and ignition timing estimator function, too, right?

No, Dynomation doesn't have anything for knock. Just some very basic control or let the program control it for best torque.

Many thanks for all your help, Indycars.

Great I just lucked out on this... So by the program 10Deg BTDC basic, and then add 10 degrees at 1K so 20 degrees at 1K 10 more for 30 degrees at 2K and 10 more at 3K for a total of 40 degrees at 3k and above.

A good base line.

Hey, no problem !

All your graphs were done by the program and I don't know what the program used. Those numbers were retained when I was playing with the settings. But like I said before all your simulations were done with the box checked.

My bad. I was confusing Dynomation for EA Pro.

EA Pro has some advanced ignition timing / spark advance and knock simulation capabilities.

Both are out of my budget. I'm considering picking up EA Plus, but I need to get the new PipeMax figured out. My results have changed significantly with the move to the new version and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Just upload your file to the PipeMax forum and Larry will look it over and sometimes even rework it and give it back to you. He's great about giving feedback.

I know and Larry told me that, but the problem is that I bought the new version because I used up all my computer licenses of the old version so I can't actually run the old version any more. All I can do is reference the copied / pasted results that I previously got out of the old version...

The new "%VE Loss" input in the new PipeMax seems CRITICALLY IMPORTANT but there seems to be no good way to know what that value should be without already having put your engine on an engine dyno; there's not even a guideline for TPI intakes in the PipeMax software like there is for essentially every other type of intake.

I didn't have a dyno either so I did the next best thing, I used a Dynomation simulation.

A guy on the Thirdgen forum who loves the FIRST intake engine builds like mine, modeled my engine in EA PLUS, but I don't understand how I'd go from it's result, to what I need to enter for the new pipemax "%VE Loss" input item, still...
