Drag Racing Analyzer Pro v2.0 for Windows 95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000

Computer Program for Professional Drag Racers and Engineers to Simulate, Predict and Analyze Drag Racing (full power acceleration) Performance.

Description

The Drag Racing Analyzer Pro is software for your personal computer to simulate a full power, standing start acceleration of most any vehicle you can design. Like its "little brother" the standard Drag Racing Analyzer, it let's you play "what if" with engine power, weather, gear ratios, tire size, driving style, etc. and see the effect on ET, MPH, 60 ft times, tire spin, and much more. "Its like having a drag strip, dyno and chassis shop right in your computer."

The Pro does everything the standard Drag Racing Analyzer does. However, the Pro version has additional features not found in it or other drag racing simulation software:

	Engine power can be modified during the run with throttle stops, nitrous oxide injection, and 'ram air' effect from the hood scoop.
	Simulation of centrifugal clutches.
	Detailed plots of up to 22 different calculated results (Fig 2)
	Import results from data loggers or other sources for making comparisons of simulated results to actual measured results.
	Additional "tunability" of the converter to better match your car’s performance.
	Ability to specify converter "lock up" in different gears.
	The you can input more info into the Match Vehicle Performance screen to also more accurately adjust converter specs and tire growth.
	Ability to create custom reports of results at various steps of time, distance or MPH. This allows you to check the effect of a modification on, say, 40 to 140 MPH times, or 500 to 1000 Ft times.
	Chain calculations let you make several runs while the program automatically increments the spec of your choice.
	Auto-Optimize feature (similar to Chain calculations), but you can try more specs at once as the program zeros in on your desired performance, like minimum ET, or the ET closest to (but slower than) 9.90.
	Can link to our Black Box Weather station for very accurate Dial In and Throttle Stop predictions. See screen below.

The Pro will let you predict and understand how your vehicle performs with various combinations of parts. For example:

	See trade-offs between better launch but slower MPH with high stall, high slip converters.
	Try different centrifugal clutch engagement RPMs and settings.
	See how throttle stop start time and time on affects ET and MPH.
	See when you can turn on your nitrous system without breaking the tires loose.
	Run several conditions at once (Chain Calculation or Auto-Optimize) and see how minor changes in weather conditions, headwind or throttle stop settings.

Output:

Shown below is the standard output screen including output (requested by the user at every 20 MPH) and the Special Timer (selected by this user for timing between the 1-2 shift and 2-3 shift).

Most any output can be graphed or exported as an ASCII file, including detailed graph data as listed here:

Data which can be Graphed:

	Vehicle speed in MPH
	Distance from start in ft
	Acceleration rate in Gs
	Engine RPM
	Front Wheel RPM
	HP lost in clutch/converter
	Driveshaft RPM
	Available engine HP
	Input RPM to transmission
	HP to overcome aero drag
	Drive tire roll radius
	% avail. HP being delivered
	Controlled % clutch force
	% vehicle wt on drive tires
	% vehicle wt on steer tires
	Torque mult. of conv
	Clutch/converter speed ratio
	Converter/clutch efficiency
	Clutch HP + AeroDyn HP
	Accel+Clutch+AeroDyn HP
	Tire Slip in %

Other Features:

One time saving feature is the Auto Optimize, which lets you "sweep" through several combinations with a single command. Below, we tried 16 Rear Axle Ratios, 6 Converter Capacities (K Factor which controls stall), and 6 1st Gear Ratios of this Powerglide (576 combinations in all). The 10 best ETs are remembered by the program and shown in the 2nd figure below.

The Chain Calculation is similar to Auto Optimize except fewer components can be changed, but the program keeps all results, so they can be graphed as shown below.

Another useful feature is the Vehicle Weight Estimator, for estimating vehicle weights of popular production vehicles.

Team Engineer Version:

For an additional $100, you can add the Team Engineer features, which include:

	A complete Centrifugal (slider) Clutch builder program (see Figure below).
	Ability to import data logger files for comparison and analysis.
	More graph options like time alignment and dual cursors for analyzing sections of data.
	The Special Timer for timing between 2 of most any type events during the run.
	Engine RPM histograms.
