PS:Calc is a computer program designed for the automobile professional or enthusiast to help analyze various engine and drivetrain needs for optimum performance. Calculate anything from Engine size to Power, Acceleration, Speed, Gearing, and so on. There is also a useful set of Metric Conversion routines included.
PS:Calc runs on PC Compatibles with DOS 3.2 or higher, or Windows 3.x, 9x, 2000, or NT. Any processor from an 8088 to a Pentium with 512k or more of memory.
If you want a graphical interface and have more power under your computers hood, you can order Power Speed Calculator for Windows!
| The Windows version has more inputs, savable defaults, a calculator, and a context-sensitive help system. Calculate engine size, compression ratio worksheet, power produced, speed & acceleration potential, gear ratios, intake and exhaust airflow requirements, fuel injection specs, etc. | PS:Calc for Windows |
PS:Calc PRO for Windows |
The Pro version has even more inputs, save/load files, horsepower graphing, and a context-sensitive help system. It has lookups for most popular transmission gear ratios to aid in finding optimum shift points. It will even graph horsepower and torque produced over an RPM range. |
PS:Calc Pro Quick-Tree |
Quick-Tree is a racing starting line simulation to help you improve your reaction time. Practice like the pros do, with a .500 full tree, or a .400 Pro tree. Quick-Tree is included when you order PS:Calc PRO, Free! |
